A colonoscopy is a procedure that makes it very easy for your doctor to screen your colon for colorectal cancer, which if found early, can be treated. Watch this animation to learn about the main reasons you should get a colonoscopy and at what age you should get one. This animation will also explain the risk factors that increase your chances of getting colorectal cancer and how these factors can affect how often you need to get screened.
Hey guys, there is no need to be afraid of a colonoscopy. My mom had 3 colonoscopies and they didn't even hurt afterwards (she was under anaesthesia). My mom had stage 4 colon cancer diagnosed at age 64. She had no pain at all!! Only an occasional small sharp pain as if ovulating. My mom went through operation, radiation, and chemo, and she did not lose her hair, did not have nausea. The radiation made her uncomfortable and obviously surgery was painful. But for all of you that are scared of just having a colonoscopy, trust me it does not really hurt. My mom's did not hurt at all. She is just sorry that she did not have a colonoscopy since 50 yrs old. After one year since being diagnosed, she is perfectly healthy today!
I wish your Mom a very good health. Namaste from India
May I know what were her symptoms? I would appreciate if you let me know. Thnx
She is so brave. She proved that mind is everything. Tomorrow my father going to have this at his 74 years. He literally worry about this. I am just checking this video to make him understand it won't hurt him. 😐
Thank you sister
I have this 1 week ago with No anesthesia. Thanks God. Have a good result
Had mine last week 36 Latino M,no more Chile or bad food diet,changing my diet completely with more fiber & healthy foods
I just had a colonoscopy last week. It did not hurt one bit. The stuff they made you drink was the worst. Use apple juice and mix them so you don't heave like I did. They found a tumor which we are waiting on the biopsy results. However, my doctor told me to cancel everything I will be having chemo. So its cancer. My bowels started changing awhile ago. Sometimes I'd have terrible pain when I went. Then a couple of months ago blood and a terrible smell started. My stools became weird, sometimes I only pooped blood. Felt like I couldn't empty myself and needed to go back to the toliet. I got the colonoscopy and that part was easy with no pain. Better to get checked then end up 6 ft under folks. Go get yours, please!!!
What was your symptoms and are you cured
I went with the government issued stool test which returned positive for blood , so had the colonoscopy and a small pollop was removed at the same time, had no drama a very slight inconvenience with prep , not recommended but got myself to the hospital by public transport , just one more bowel evacuation before bedding down waiting for the theatre porter , then woke up quick after procedure went home no problems , one more unusual bowel movement next day and bowel came back to perfect working order in no time.
My Mom done with a colonoscopy+ Biopsy and the impression is Segmoid mass while the Biopsy result is not yet out so we need to wait for One month, hopefully the result came out soon...
Get your colonoscopy....It's better then the alternative.
I'm 38 years old but I want to undergo colonoscopy. Is it okay?
I am 40yrs old, but i already experience these diarhea for 8 months after taking meal after a minute i just go straight to the restroom. someone give me an advice i ma worried.thanks
I m 20 year n i have to have colonoscopy soon , i have phone talk with the specialist today
Whenever you feel like. As for me never.
I've had diarrhea for 4 weeks now I thought I was getting better the past few days but I saw blood today I'm only 29
I was about 6 years ago that found in the large intestine through the rectum close to the anus and the polyp was small surgery took maybe 10min. i was maybe 33yrs then. it lasted for a year and bothered so i decided on a doctor and told my situation then i asked to remove it for a reason. so came true because it is better than nothing. should not wait any longer
This was good
Yes,very good!
Copayments for colonoscopy are very high. i spent over $250.00 on these lately. I have Iritable Bowel Syndrome and finding a way to have more regular bowel movements was very important. So far so good after 30 years.
Soon we'll be launching a patient education portal which will have videos and animations on Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C). Please stay tuned!
Did colonoscopy help resolve the IBS ? I am in similar situations and wondering if I shud go with colonoscopy
Please check our newly launched patient educational resource "You and Constipation" czcams.com/channels/VpXNeQCsaIBizyZW2RMtyg.html. Currently the "Understanding IBS with Constipation (IBS-C)" module is available, more modules that explain other types of constipation will be coming soon.
Good
I had one @ 60, no fun a gallon of liquid the night before , the OR some tubes with shit and the consent signed in case of puncturing the colon , the general anesthesia where you putting your life in their hands God have mercy !!!

Hi how r u now
How much money does the doctor get for each one of these test?
Yeah! I want to know too!
Lot of money they get, they are specialist, make sense
I had my first colonoscopy 6 years ago. Then they discovered diverticula. Now I have to have a colonoscopy every 5 years. Next week I have to do another one.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT STARTS GO SEE THE DR OR HOSPITAL EMERGENCY AND THEY WILL MAKE YOU COME BACK ..ITS MANY TIMES ALL ABOUT MONEY MONEY MONEY !!!
Good luck

Wow I'm glad that I don't live in the USA or equivalent.thank God for our NHS.
NHS have been comprehensively crap for me. We should have the option of not paying so much National Insurance and using the money to go private.
Thankyou Major. Fair comment.
I totally agree. My story with the NHS in Scotland is too long to tell, however, thank you so much for pointing out that we in the UK pay National Insurance, as many people think it is free healthcare.
In my country it is free.
No way. Always with the fear mongering.
Doctors aren't as helpful as everyone thinks they are
Not helpful at all. They just tell you what's in a book and write you a prescription.
