I have got my flexible sigmoidoscopy on friday and i am soo scared. I have read through alot of these stories and it seems pretty balanced between people who have had good and bad experiences so i dont know what to think. I am definately asking for sedation, that much i know asi am in huge amounts of pain anyway, without being messed about with down there.

I am also terafied about what they will find, lastly will they still do it if i have a period that day??????????????

    redheadsrule, I agree with you 100%,



    I have a so similar with precancerous polyps really saved me and second thought to keep live and raised my two daughter and want to see their future, wedding and grandchildren. I 've been thought lot of my life is important and now I am middle age. I think prep is the worst part. I have not really like those test and which mean it is worth to know what was going on in my digestion systems really crap.

    Most of the tests the prep is the worst part , I have not had this one in years it was not the worst thing back then. Because I had precancerous polyps I have a colonoscopy every 5 years ,the discomfort is worth it to find out what is causing your pain and believe me minimal the pain compared to other tests...its mainly a pressure from what I remember . They can still do it during your monthly , I hope all goes well for you .
