Getting my colonoscopy done and i'm really scared. what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dont be scared : Very common proceedure and much better than not finding a polyp that could later grow into a cancer. If the scope is negative you may not need another for 8 - 10 years. Most people with sedation do not remember much of the proceedre. You will be glad you got it over and surprised how easy it was.
