A colonoscopy, also known as coloscopy, is a medical examination intended to check the condition of the colon (large intestines.) It’s what we normal folk would comfortably call an ANALysis.
Colonoscopies typically check for significant changes in the colon. These include but not limited to tissue irritation, inflammation, polyp growth, and tumors.
To perform a colonoscopy, a doctor inserts a special thin, tube-like instrument called a colonoscope into your rectum. Most colonoscopes have a light and lens through which the doctor can check for rectal abnormalities. Some of these devices may also come fitted with a tool for removing tissues for further examination under a microscope.
Colonoscopies are usually not a pain in the ass because they involve the pre-administration of anesthetics. However, the mere fact of undergoing these procedures can trigger some anxiety. Therefore, you may need an extra dose of motivation in the form of colonoscopy jokes.
We’ve put together a definitive list of the funniest jokes and puns to make your upcoming colonoscopic procedure less frightening.
