I was wondering is a person put to sleep when getting a flexible sigmoidoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: as this is an office based procedure most often and doesn't require sedation in most cases and minimal bowel prep compared to colonoscopy; however it only exams the last 1/3 of your colon.
