Colonoscopy question?

Don't get worked up worrying about a colonoscopy. It's actually not a difficult procedure at all, and you won't be uncomfortable. Usually, they give you a drug called Versed, which is a short-acting sedative that trims off all the fear and anxiety, also dulling any sensation of discomfort. It's a very quick procedure, too, only taking a short time to perform. And it can be a true lifesaver. If they find any polyps (pre-cancerous) growths, they can quickly remove them with absolutely zero pain or sensation (no nerve endings up there), and you'll suddenly realize that they just saved you from colon cancer somewhere in your future. It's very well worth any inconvenience or a slight bit of discomfort. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.
