A member asked:
Can i remain awake for a colonoscopy? is it a tolerable procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, you can: A minority of patients prefer no anesthesia and with proper information and instruction, most specialists will perform a colonoscopy without anesthesia. You are correct .... it is uncomfortable, perhaps very uncomfortable, but tolerable to those who are motivated to tolerate it. Good wishes:)
