Just kidding. Each to his own. No surgeon in Sweden would dream of performing a colonscopy on a perfectly well person with no symptoms pointing to bowel desease or malignancy.

As far as I know, there are no scientific evidence on a population basis suggesting there is anything to gain with such routines.

For any individual, the case is of course different.
