  • A colonoscopy is a procedure that involves an examination of the entire colon and requires bowel preparation and sedation. Screening tests are done to detect or prevent cancer in asymptomatic patients; when concerning signs or symptoms are present, diagnostic testing should be performed. There are a number of stool-based, endoscopic, or radiologic tests available for Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, though choice may be driven by patient preference and local availability. Watch this video to learn about the purpose and benefits of the exam, how the colonoscopy procedure is performed, and the potential risks and complications.

    You know the test is dangerous if you have to sign a paper beforehand so that the Dr is not held responsible for tearing your colon.

      Better to be scared and get it done .....before it could be too late! I got one and I am very relieved, I am 60....It did not hurt and I was awake during the procedure. 7 polyps....waiting for the results. The thought and sound of it really can scare you but the procedure worked out fine.@@alfonsogreen2722

    Colonoscopy is a painless procedure without any sedation. I just had one and it was an awesome experience seeing my colon on the big screen and chatting with the doctor. Anesthesiologists don't want you to know the truth. It would put them out of business.

      @@Cici_mimi It's true. I had nothing. Got to experience watching it live on the big screen and conversing with the doctor. He removed 4 pylops and had to cauterize one large pylop. There is no feeling inside your colon.he used a water or fluid method so you're not blown up with gases. You realize then just hiw much the anesthesia is a money racket and they ought to be called out on this. If anesthesia is the only way to get people in there so be it. Unfortunately they push people to be sedated. I had to put my foot down about going with unsedated. There's a you tube showing a gastroenterologist becomes the patient and has an unsedated colonoscopy pain free. He's talking to the doctor and comments Have you found my wife's shoes in there anywhere? 😆 🤣 They don't want people to know the truth because the Healthcare industry is a business.

      If they cause a perforation leading to sepsis, then the cost is CNN potentially your life.
      Other than that though, “a colonoscopy is totally safe.”

      Yes, and recognize that recent recommendations for screening colonoscopy for the early detection of colorectal cancer are all people over 50 years of age in the United States. How many people in the United States living are 50 years of age and over? Fifty five million!! That is a huge financial market net. Think about it.

    This test is a roll of the dice. You can go in for this preventative test and come out fine, die, be diagnosed with cancer or pollups, or end up with a perforated bowel that could affect you for the rest of your life. Are you feeling lucky?

      I understand your concerns but it's important to keep in mind that you can be asymptomatic even with adenomatous polyps and different types of serious IBDs that can lead to cancer. Stage 2-3 of colorectal cancer can go unnoticed until it reaches late-stage 4 and by then it's often too late. If you're over 45, do not skip having a screening colonoscopy. The risks are extremely low and the benefits far outweigh any potential risks and the chances of facing complications that come from NOT having one are relatively much greater.

      Most hospitals knock you out but deep sedation doesn't seem to be popular in Boston. I get conscious sedation which puts me to sleep anyway, but I'd love to count backward from 10 and go right out.
