The test is done to diagnose colorectal cancer; The doctor says the procedure may have saved the actor’s life

Ryan Reynolds shared this Tuesday, 13th, a video in which she performs at colonoscopywhich can detect colorectal cancer. During her trip to the hospital, she found out she had a polyp and that the procedure may have saved his life.

Next to Rob McElhenneyhis friend and co-owner of the Welsh football team Wrexham, the actor said the two made a bet: if McElhenney could learn to speak the Welsh language, Reynolds would have to share his colonoscopy with the public.

Despite the joke, the actors stressed the importance of performing the exam. “Rob and I will turn 45 this year. Part of reaching that age is having a colonoscopy. It’s a simple procedure that could literally save your life,” Reynolds said.

The actor then recorded his visit to the hospital, with the aim of raising awareness of the need to be tested. During the video, a doctor explains that the procedure is very simple and takes about half an hour.

This is exactly what happened to Reynolds: while performing the exam, he discovered a “very thin polyp”, which was later removed. According to the doctor, the test potentially saved the actor’s life.

Despite the bet, Rob McElhenney also filmed his colonoscopy and, thanks to the exam, he discovered three polyps. According to the doctors, they weren’t large, but they could be removed just like Reynolds’s.
