Hello lybrate-user. Colonoscopy can identify dieseases like large intestine polyps, ulcers, tumors etc. It is not mostly too difficult or painful procedure either.

It is to confirm if there are any polyps, ulcers etc in your large intestine, it is generally painless. Will help you get better diagnosed as it visualises internal view of your intestine. So better diagnosis and treatment.
