I need to take colonoscopy. i am so afraid i am having anxiety attacks. who can i talk to professionally that can help me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastoenterologist: The thought of an endoscopy is terrifying to most patients so don't feel bad. I usually encourage my patients to either ask myself or the gastroenterologist who will be performing the procedure. They should be willing to answer your questions. If they won't answer your questions use a different doctor.

Erythema noted on Colonoscopy. Does this always mean IBD? No ulcers or other forms of inflammation noted, just the erythema in the Sigmoid region. Stressing myself over it, GI didn't seem all that concerned or mention IBD in the talks after operation?
