Hi,with the complaints of altered bowel habits i think you need to be evaluated.but before an colonoscopy you might need some non interventional investigations like ultrasound/ct abd.colonoscopy is diagnostic and it would help to clinch a diagnosis.proper bowel preparation should be done for colonoscopy which would be adviced by the doctor.colonoscopy also helps to have a biopsy done in case of any lesions. safe health.
