How is a colonoscopy done?

During a colonoscopy, you will lie on your side with your knees drawn up towards your chest. A small amount of air is used to expand the colon, so the doctor can see the colon walls. You may feel mild cramping during the procedure. This can be reduced with deep breathing. The colonoscope is slowly withdrawn while the lining of your bowel is examined.
