 ====== Test: Colonoscopy ======
-Colonoscopes are not contraindicated by the MP, and may be warranted for high risk patients. It is okay to continue MP medications but one may want to adjust them to reduce immunopathology.
+A colonoscopy refers to an endoscopic examination of the colon and the distal part of the small bowel with a small camera on a flexible tube. Colonoscopes are not contraindicated by the MP, and may be warranted for high risk patients. May provide reassurance when fearful of malignancy, but can expose patient to greater infection due to difficulties in sterilizing equipment.
+Results usually do not change course of treatment. It is okay to continue MP medications but one may want to adjust them to reduce immunopathology.
