Colonoscopy - Diverticular disease can be diagnosed Part 1

Diverticular disease can be diagnosed via one of three procedures. First one is Colonoscopy. This procedure involves a thin, lighted tube being passed through the rectum in order for a doctor to obtain a thorough look at the bowel wall. This also enables the removal of small pieces of the bowel wall for further investigation via biopsy.
