As someone who's had to have, over the past year: multiple smear tests, vaginal surgery, a camera shoved down my throat and into my stomach, had to pee in front of three people while my bladder was monitored, and am now having bowel issues which will probably require a colonoscopy, I appreciate everyone being more open about these "embarrassing" health problems.
Imagine going through medical school for more than five years, specializing as a gastroenterologist afterwards and then having your whole career described as *”butt specialist”* on TH-cam
@@valeriaanticona8702 if you Google gastroenterologist the example is "commonly, colonoscopies are performed by gastroenterologists" so I'm gonna guess you can use both but they might do different things even if they both specialise in the same area.
My mom’s “butt specialists” name, I’m not kidding, is Dr. Butts. Talk about a perfect profession. I’ve always wondered if he chose his career path or if his name did.
The fact that he can talk about this so jokingly yet so serious is one of the reasons I love Phil. People need to put their shame away about these things because not getting professionally checked out of embarrassment can cost a persons life. Stay woke ❤️
As someone with Crohn’s disease who has had multiple colonoscopies and had to talk to doctors about all sorts of “embarrassing” symptoms, it’s so nice to hear you talking about your experience and helping to de-stigmatise it! Thank you
How often do you go. My grandfather died of colon cancer so my dad goes every 3-5 years even though they tell him to only come back every 7-8 years since my grandfather was undiagnosed for 5 years.
@@laurenhawes7201 sorry to only get back to you now. My TH-cam notifications are rubbish. I originally had to go every 6 months but they’ve gradually spaced them out to every 4 years. That’s the longest I’ll ever go. Really sorry to hear about your grandad as well. It’s a horrible condition 😢 I was very lucky to have it caught early.
As a girl, I'm just more baffled at the fact that so many things could fit in your pockets?? I can't even fit a phone or a pen in my jean pockets excuse me??
Phil, I am so glad you went to the doctor's and made sure you were okay. Three weeks ago my best friend was having similar symptoms but ignored it because she didn't have health insurance. Now, she is in the ICU, dying because she had cancer in her colon and it has spread everywhere else in her body. I just said goodbye to her today, the doctors say she will pass within 24 hours. Thank you Phil for making this video because maybe if my friend had gone to the doctor sooner she could have been saved, so maybe this video could have even saved a life. I wish healthcare was better in America though, she was scared of how much it would cost. But in the end it cost her life.
I’m so sorry this happened thank you for sharing this story as it is truly important to seek help. No cost is worth more than a life. If u need someone to talk I am here for you ❤️
I did a colonoscopy without sedation and it ain’t painful just feels... really weird. I even wore, and got compliments from my nurse about, my AmazingPhil odd fox-socks during the procedure! To think it would come full circle like this not a year later... A true ass-blessing 😌🙏🍑
i've had all of my colonoscopies without sedation and that was some of the worst pain i've ever been in (i had active disease at the time). no idea why they didn't give me sedation. it was pure torture.
@@OriharaKaoru I've had them during active colitis flares without any drugs. Wasn't really painful just discomfort. Were you able to fully relax your whole body? That's the key. My mom got one when she was super stressed and she couldn't relax at all and even with muscle relaxers she was crying out in pain :(
YES!!! As a medical student, I can say for sure: Doctors see thousand of butts!!! Unless you have, idk a tattoo of Shakira on your butt, we won't remember yours particularly! Stay safe and healthy yall!
The strangest part is the man who rescues wild pigeons usually has no control over his health concerns. Usually just odd things that he’s not responsible for.
As a medical professional, I’m glad you came to the realization that it is not memorable to us. That feels harsh to say, because I care about my patients, but doing the exam is not something I think about when I’m done. I think about making the person feel safe and as comfortable as possible. I don’t want my patients to be embarrassed for seeking medical care because I want my patients to be happy and healthy.
This popped up on my notifications and I immediately went “Phil!?” in a really exasperated tone and I think that sums up the last eleven years of watching
So just before Phil posted this video I started having intestinal trouble, and also had found a lump. I was pretty scared because it was so unusual (and I have IBS). I watched this, then set an appointment with a gastroenterologist, and was so worried. She of course set up an endoscopy and colonoscopy, along with other tests. I have now been diagnosed with severe gastritis, and I'm in the process of being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I want to say thanks for making the video. It gave me a lot of comfort during my procedures and really made me feel better about the issues I'm having. It normalized something that is often seen as taboo and gave me the push I needed.
Yeah I actually made a comment similar to this because my mom had one and I have to get one and you're the only person I've seen that has said anything about how important it is that he's talking about it
Fun story about "butt doctor": at my cousin's wedding reception, her husband's father told everyone a story about how when the husband was a kid, he would tell everyone he wanted to be a butt doctor. When asked what he would do as a butt doctor, he said "saw people's butts off." So. Glad that's not what happened to you, Phil.
As someone with severe health anxiety: you are a hero for making this video! I know your goal was to spare people from embarrassment, but it was also a huge relief to hear that your concerning symptoms were absolutely nothing. With so many medical horror stories out there, ones like these are like a beacon of hope. 🙏

I’m so glad Phil talked about anxiety with going to a hospital. As someone who’s grown up in a toxic household that consisted of parents who didn’t want me (a disabled person) to go to the hospital when I needed to, I ended up developing anxiety when it comes to going to the hospital, to the point where I went several months not going when I knew I had injured one of my ankles and that caused me to develop tendinitis due to my fear of what my parents would do if I asked to go to the hospital. If I had just gone regardless of what they thought I would have a minimum of two less disorders than I do now. I now have to live the rest of my life with tendinitis, an eye lid disorder, and a few other disorders/disabilities which most could have been prevented if I had gotten help when I needed it. So, no matter what, if you are in doubt about anything in your body functioning correctly, or if you think you might be sick or having something broken, go to the doctor just in case. The only things that can happen is you go and they find nothing so you know you’re okay, or they find something and start fixing from the start when it can most likely be cured, vs waiting and possibly developing an incurable disorder/disability that you’ll live with for the rest of your life (and was preventable).
Guys, gals, nonbinary pals, I present to you: The ONLY TH-camr that I ever wanna hear about going to the hospital for any reason. _Especially_ for this reason.
I remember being really embarrassed when I had to take off my bra for a chest x-ray. I was already embarrassed from just being in that gown with just my undergarments on, but I dunno the bra thing just kind of shot that through the roof. The nurse who had wheeled me there and back on the stretcher could tell though, and she just assured me that lots of people had to do the same thing and comforted me about it. It was during when the quarantine was just starting, so it was the first time I didn't have my mom with me (which had made me super nervous about everything as well) and I think that nurse could tell that I was just super uncomfortable with everything and she did her best to assure me for the majority of my visit. I remember that nurse well because she was super sweet and reassuring during the whole ordeal. I appreciated it a lot tbh. Kind of unrelated I guess, but phil talking about this reminded me lol
@@szaboluca5536 @Shanana i think you are right, urologist = urinary system gastroenterologist deals with the whole digestive system, so from the mouth until the butt proctologist is specifically the rectum etc edit: spelling
Just want to double down on the whole "don't be scared to see a doctor" part. Recently I've had a bunch of medical scans and an operation, I was a bit freaked out at the idea but honestly they were all no issue, not bad at all. In a recent ultrasound the technician said, whilst probing me, "I can't get a great view of the left side due to a large gas bubble in the bowels." and I couldn't stop laughing at my own farts betrayal
@@chitkat9793 Ohmygoodness I was going for an ultrasound and they told me not to pee within an hour and a half of it and I MADE THE MISTAKE OF PEEING so the whole trip to the place I was chugging water and thankfully it made it through my system fast enough for my bladder to be nearly full and for them to get a good result
“last week i got closer to a camera than i’ve ever been before” me: hmm did you tripod fall over? did you camera knock a tooth out? phil: “..as i had one shoved up my butt.” me: i- oh. okay.
me every time i want a glass of milk. im also mildly allergic to pineapple and it makes my mouth burn and a rash where ever it touches but my doctor said its not actually harmful. If i want to endure the pain, i can and i do. pineapple and milk ate two thinks i can suffer for
My husband had that last year because doctors thought he had cancer. Hardest time I went through and I cried for several days. He had 4/5 symptoms and I was convinced he was gonna die. Thankfully it wasn’t cancer, he had some polyps which they cut out. And he’s still with me
Phil said: "THERE'S A BUTT SLIT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE YOUR WHOLE ASS ON DISPLAY... GUESS WHAT I DID?" I just got this instant feeling of pure dread, like "Phil, please don't say it. Tell me you didn't... Oh, Phil."
@@catrionathepoet130 it was my first one, due another in a few months and I'm wondering if I'll get the same comment or if they just tell that to everyone their first time to relax you a bit?
Probably means you have strong cervical muscles. A lot of women suffer from not having very strong muscles in that area because we don't have to squat down to pee and such, so we don't exercise it very much. How awkward is having one of those exams? I've never had one before and I dread the day I have to.
@the incarnation of boredom it's not awkward at all the appointments take about 15 minutes and they're super chill :) i had to have the endoscopy surgery in january as the smear before that showed i had pre cancerous cells! Luckily it was caught in time and i got the all clear^^
Who’s in the “I know there is so much wrong with the way my body works but my parents have gaslighted me to the point where I don’t even believe my own pain anymore” club?
Ok this is a brilliant and important video but at 2:26 where the doctor said "Right, let's have a look" the video cut to an ad where someone squirted out some moisturiser into their hand and I'm dying laughing A wise move whenever sticking something up your butt A fine ad placement, Mr Lester
I'm suddenly allergic to mushrooms and I had to go to the emergency room because the mushrooms literally STOPPED MY INTESTINES FROM WORKING so it had to be flushed out, thank god I was half drugged up. They did colonoscopy / cleaning, the prep was so bad I had to drink 3 huge bottles of water which meant i shat myself all night
It is so important to be confident with your doctor. I had this weird bump on my breast for over a year until I got it checked. Didn't want to go, because I kept telling myself it's nothign bad, it doesn't hurt and I didn't want to show my bare chest to an adult (I was 15 at the time). But when I realized that this "bump" isn't going away I went to see the doctor and it turned out that I had a third nipple, that apparently started growing while I was in puberty. Nipple³ is still there, I call him Alfted and he's cool. But you guys have no idea, how relieved I was, that it actually wasn't anything bad. So thanks Phil, for raising awareness, that our bodys all are weird and strange, but our doctors really don't care. Or to put it in the words of my doctor "If you actually have something we've never seen before you'll get famous and we'll write about you in medical journals"
For real, it can really help to tell your doctor if you're anxious or embarrassed. The first time I had to go for an annual exam to get my, ah, bits checked out, I told my doctor, "hey, this is new for me and I'm a little nervous." She walked me through the whole process before starting, and then explained everything she was doing while she was doing it. It really took a lot of the stress out of it!
The first time I went to the hospital and they asked me if I was allergic to anything, I made the mistake of saying "Yes, bunny rabbits" and they actually wrote it down. Now every time I go to the hospital they give me a red wrist band and every new surgeon or anaesthetist who comes to see me asks about it like it's very serious and I have to admit it's rabbits over and over again and endure the laughter.
Omg one time I was at the dentist and they asked me if I was allergic to anything and I said walnuts.... LIKE WHEN TF WOULD THEY GIVE ME WALNUTS 😭but he wrote it down and I’m like Ok.....
@@jayj2089 actually it might be helpful. Cross-reactivity is real. I don't know if there're any between food and drugs but still might be good for your doctor to know

Hey, longtime sufferer of Ulcerative Colitis here who is extremely glad to see someone so high profile doing their bit to smash the taboo around 💩 I've done plenty of colonoscopies and flexible sigmoidoscopies without sedation but with narcotic painkillers and it's absolutely fine as long as you're well hydrated 😊
I ended up in the hospital for 6 days for ischemic colitis and have struggled ever since. Constant constipation and cramps have been hell. I’m honestly scared to see a gastroenterologist, because my town is know for having the absolute WORST healthcare. What have you found that helps you the most? 🥺
@@mollybolyard80 Hi! Sorry to hear you've had an awful time of it lately 😥 Obviously I don't know where you are, but personally I've found Crohn's and Colitis UK to be an excellent source of info and advice over the years. I've had Ulcerative Colitis for 12 years now and have pretty much been to actual hell and back with it, but my doctors have been great with me and it's definitely worth finding a good Gastroenterologist if you can ❤
I literally got diagnosed with UC right before lockdown. I’m 19 and it was terrifying and Phil talking about this and being so open just makes me feel so much better about it all.
this video was almost comforting to me in a way as weird as that may sound because i have crohn’s disease so these procedures are normal for someone to have with the condition and sometimes it can be embarrassing to talk about so thank u for making this video and making it funny ! makes me feel better
My mom was the poster girl for early cancer detection twice, once by colonoscopy, once by stereotactic guided needle breast biopsy. She was a long term cancer survivor. Thanks for opening this dialogue.
I had a tumour removed (two years ago today) and recently I've felt the symptoms again, but no doctors took me seriously. Then finally, they did a scan and lo and behold, it's back. It's so important for people to take their health in their own hands, because only YOU know what your body feels. Thank you for encouraging us to listen to our bodies, Phil!!! It's so important. ps everyone wish me luck cuz they dont know if its malignant or WHAT and im scared ok love you Phil bye
All jokes aside this is actually such an important thing to talk about that so many people struggle with! Thank you for being so open about it, take care of your flesh machines everyone :)
I had my first colonoscopy when I was 13 and I was so embarrassed. I didn’t tell anyone what was happening. Just that I was in the hospital. I later realized that it’s not embarrassing. It’s normal. It’s a way to keep you healthy!!!!!

it was from a video about a year ago
Phil's doctor: "at your age-"
Me: /confused for a solid second/
Me after: OH RIGHT!!! Phil isn't my age, he just looks 20
I think he meant that because Phil is young he probably wouldn’t have a problem. Colon cancer screening usually starts when you’re 50.
I’m so glad Phil talked about anxiety with going to a hospital. As someone who’s grown up in a toxic household that consisted of parents who didn’t want me (a disabled person) to go to the hospital when I needed to, I ended up developing anxiety when it comes to going to the hospital, to the point where I went several months not going when I knew I had injured one of my ankles and that caused me to develop tendinitis due to my fear of what my parents would do if I asked to go to the hospital. If I had just gone regardless of what they thought I would have a minimum of two less disorders than I do now. I now have to live the rest of my life with tendinitis, an eye lid disorder, and a few other disorders/disabilities which most could have been prevented if I had gotten help when I needed it.
So, no matter what, if you are in doubt about anything in your body functioning correctly, or if you think you might be sick or having something broken, go to the doctor just in case. The only things that can happen is you go and they find nothing so you know you’re okay, or they find something and start fixing from the start when it can most likely be cured, vs waiting and possibly developing an incurable disorder/disability that you’ll live with for the rest of your life (and was preventable).
Guys, gals, nonbinary pals, I present to you:

I remember being really embarrassed when I had to take off my bra for a chest x-ray. I was already embarrassed from just being in that gown with just my undergarments on, but I dunno the bra thing just kind of shot that through the roof. The nurse who had wheeled me there and back on the stretcher could tell though, and she just assured me that lots of people had to do the same thing and comforted me about it. It was during when the quarantine was just starting, so it was the first time I didn't have my mom with me (which had made me super nervous about everything as well) and I think that nurse could tell that I was just super uncomfortable with everything and she did her best to assure me for the majority of my visit. I remember that nurse well because she was super sweet and reassuring during the whole ordeal. I appreciated it a lot tbh.
Kind of unrelated I guess, but phil talking about this reminded me lol
:))) that's so nice
Nurses are absolute legends, honestly

for those wondering:
butt doctor = gastroenterologist or proctologist
Thank you
Thank you! But then what is a urologist? Don't they also deal with the butt in some ways?🤔🤔
@@szaboluca5536 i thought that was to do with genitals and the urinary tract? Might be wrong tho
@@szaboluca5536 @Shanana i think you are right, urologist = urinary system
gastroenterologist deals with the whole digestive system, so from the mouth until the butt
proctologist is specifically the rectum etc
edit: spelling
@@estelwenethiriel6075 @Shanana Thank you for telling me, I'll remember it next time😊😊
This is so funny 😂 I usually work in endoscopy so I’m dying 😂😂 it’s funny to hear it from the patient’s perspective

Just want to double down on the whole "don't be scared to see a doctor" part. Recently I've had a bunch of medical scans and an operation, I was a bit freaked out at the idea but honestly they were all no issue, not bad at all. In a recent ultrasound the technician said, whilst probing me, "I can't get a great view of the left side due to a large gas bubble in the bowels." and I couldn't stop laughing at my own farts betrayal
I had an ultrasound and they made me drink a bunch of water first and the piddle panic was hiiiigh
Your fart's betrayal omg I will use that
yeah but it's SO expensive
@@chitkat9793 Ohmygoodness I was going for an ultrasound and they told me not to pee within an hour and a half of it and I MADE THE MISTAKE OF PEEING so the whole trip to the place I was chugging water and thankfully it made it through my system fast enough for my bladder to be nearly full and for them to get a good result
"Want me to let you get a good view doc?"
"I was basically a disguised ninja... that was about to pull his pants down." ONLY IN 2020
The sad thing is that if this happened to me, an American, there's no way I would be able to pay for the procedure as I have no health insurance.
Out of curiosity, do you qualify for Medicaid?
You're going to have to get it soon. The fines are coming back and it will be much much higher.
if i could choose an occupation, i’d definitely choose “butt specialist”

Wonder what college you have to go to to be a butt specialist
destinee idk but you’d need to get ur ass-levels to be one
this is the worst joke i’ve ever made bye

I went to lady doctor and I told her I was worried and scared and she was so nice and it broke the ice. Phil knows what he's talking about.
knowing phil, he just forgot he’s lactose intolerant
me every time i want a glass of milk. im also mildly allergic to pineapple and it makes my mouth burn and a rash where ever it touches but my doctor said its not actually harmful. If i want to endure the pain, i can and i do. pineapple and milk ate two thinks i can suffer for

My husband had that last year because doctors thought he had cancer. Hardest time I went through and I cried for several days. He had 4/5 symptoms and I was convinced he was gonna die. Thankfully it wasn’t cancer, he had some polyps which they cut out. And he’s still with me
Glad to hear he's better now!
i can’t imagine how scary that must have been, i’m glad he’s ok :)
Phil said: "THERE'S A BUTT SLIT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE YOUR WHOLE ASS ON DISPLAY... GUESS WHAT I DID?"
I just got this instant feeling of pure dread, like "Phil, please don't say it. Tell me you didn't... Oh, Phil."

When I went for my cervical smear the nurse said 'you have a very good cervix' and I was like ???? Thanks I guess????
Very nice cervix you have Catherine... would be a shame is someone were to uh... steal it...😏
Hahah same thing happened to me!
@@catrionathepoet130 it was my first one, due another in a few months and I'm wondering if I'll get the same comment or if they just tell that to everyone their first time to relax you a bit?
Probably means you have strong cervical muscles. A lot of women suffer from not having very strong muscles in that area because we don't have to squat down to pee and such, so we don't exercise it very much. How awkward is having one of those exams? I've never had one before and I dread the day I have to.
@the incarnation of boredom it's not awkward at all the appointments take about 15 minutes and they're super chill :) i had to have the endoscopy surgery in january as the smear before that showed i had pre cancerous cells! Luckily it was caught in time and i got the all clear^^
Hey man, huge respect for telling this story. Like seriously, massive kudos. Hopefully it'll really help people.
Who’s in the “I know there is so much wrong with the way my body works but my parents have gaslighted me to the point where I don’t even believe my own pain anymore” club?
the doctor: turn around and face the wall
phil: i can do that

Ok this is a brilliant and important video but at 2:26 where the doctor said "Right, let's have a look" the video cut to an ad where someone squirted out some moisturiser into their hand and I'm dying laughing
A wise move whenever sticking something up your butt
A fine ad placement, Mr Lester
I'm suddenly allergic to mushrooms and I had to go to the emergency room because the mushrooms literally STOPPED MY INTESTINES FROM WORKING so it had to be flushed out, thank god I was half drugged up. They did colonoscopy / cleaning, the prep was so bad I had to drink 3 huge bottles of water which meant i shat myself all night
I wish I had that shorts I was butt naked with a hospital gown 🤡
Thanks for that

Phil, you are such as inspiring youtuber! Keep it up!
It is so important to be confident with your doctor. I had this weird bump on my breast for over a year until I got it checked. Didn't want to go, because I kept telling myself it's nothign bad, it doesn't hurt and I didn't want to show my bare chest to an adult (I was 15 at the time). But when I realized that this "bump" isn't going away I went to see the doctor and it turned out that I had a third nipple, that apparently started growing while I was in puberty.
Nipple³ is still there, I call him Alfted and he's cool. But you guys have no idea, how relieved I was, that it actually wasn't anything bad.
So thanks Phil, for raising awareness, that our bodys all are weird and strange, but our doctors really don't care. Or to put it in the words of my doctor "If you actually have something we've never seen before you'll get famous and we'll write about you in medical journals"
Oh wow
Tell Alfred I said hi
That's so cool
So glad to hear everything turned out fine!
a THIRD NIPPLE???
"what are your allergies"
phil: aRe YoU gOnNa rUb cAtS oN mY bUtT?
For real, it can really help to tell your doctor if you're anxious or embarrassed. The first time I had to go for an annual exam to get my, ah, bits checked out, I told my doctor, "hey, this is new for me and I'm a little nervous." She walked me through the whole process before starting, and then explained everything she was doing while she was doing it. It really took a lot of the stress out of it!
Wow, Mario Kart really has evolved. It's gone from Rainbow Road to Anus Avenue.

The first time I went to the hospital and they asked me if I was allergic to anything, I made the mistake of saying "Yes, bunny rabbits" and they actually wrote it down. Now every time I go to the hospital they give me a red wrist band and every new surgeon or anaesthetist who comes to see me asks about it like it's very serious and I have to admit it's rabbits over and over again and endure the laughter.
I love this
It makes their day a bit better

@@jayj2089 actually it might be helpful. Cross-reactivity is real. I don't know if there're any between food and drugs but still might be good for your doctor to know

Hey, longtime sufferer of Ulcerative Colitis here who is extremely glad to see someone so high profile doing their bit to smash the taboo around 💩
I've done plenty of colonoscopies and flexible sigmoidoscopies without sedation but with narcotic painkillers and it's absolutely fine as long as you're well hydrated 😊
I ended up in the hospital for 6 days for ischemic colitis and have struggled ever since. Constant constipation and cramps have been hell. I’m honestly scared to see a gastroenterologist, because my town is know for having the absolute WORST healthcare. What have you found that helps you the most? 🥺
@@mollybolyard80 Hi! Sorry to hear you've had an awful time of it lately 😥 Obviously I don't know where you are, but personally I've found Crohn's and Colitis UK to be an excellent source of info and advice over the years. I've had Ulcerative Colitis for 12 years now and have pretty much been to actual hell and back with it, but my doctors have been great with me and it's definitely worth finding a good Gastroenterologist if you can ❤
I also have had UC for 3 years now and also had a colonoscopy without any sedation or painkillers and it was horrible :(
I literally got diagnosed with UC right before lockdown. I’m 19 and it was terrifying and Phil talking about this and being so open just makes me feel so much better about it all.
Just got diagnosed w UC 5 days ago. This video is definitely hilarious and wouldve benefited from watching before
As someone who has Ulcerative Colitis and other chronic illnesses, thank you Phil for normalizing this!
Why is Phil the most random person I've ever seen
Oh you haven't seen me mate
r a n d o m x D
this video was almost comforting to me in a way as weird as that may sound because i have crohn’s disease so these procedures are normal for someone to have with the condition and sometimes it can be embarrassing to talk about so thank u for making this video and making it funny ! makes me feel better
Omg same I was diagnosed with crohns desase when I was 16!! How u been with it over lockdown??
I just got diagnosed with chrons disease this year I'm 17 and I will get a surgery next month because its pretty bad right now
Ελένη Κρητικού i wish you the best of luck for that and i hope you will feel better soon !!

My mom was the poster girl for early cancer detection twice, once by colonoscopy, once by stereotactic guided needle breast biopsy. She was a long term cancer survivor. Thanks for opening this dialogue.
I had a tumour removed (two years ago today) and recently I've felt the symptoms again, but no doctors took me seriously. Then finally, they did a scan and lo and behold, it's back.
It's so important for people to take their health in their own hands, because only YOU know what your body feels.
Thank you for encouraging us to listen to our bodies, Phil!!! It's so important.
ps everyone wish me luck cuz they dont know if its malignant or WHAT and im scared ok love you Phil bye
