A colonoscope is the special tool used to perform a colonoscopy. It is a thin, flexible, tubular ‘telescope’ with a light and video camera that your doctor carefully guides through your colon in order to see and determine the health of your colon. Watch this animation to learn about the features of the colonoscope, how the colonoscopy procedure is performed and how polyps are removed, and the follow-up care you and your doctor should talk about after your procedure.

To anyone possibly reading this who’s getting a colonoscopy soon and is
extremely nervous, let me just tell you it is such a breeze. And this is
coming from a hypochondriac and anxiety-ridden person. I just had an
endoscopy and a colonoscopy today, so my experience is very recent. I was
so insanely scared, I was supposed to get one 2 weeks earlier but cancelled
out of fear. They are thinking I might have Crohn’s Disease so this is why
I was getting it done. But, today I *had* to get it done. I couldn’t wait
any longer, the doctors were extremely concerned. So first, I went to the
hospital (a nervous wreck of course. I’m 15 by the way) and just waited in
the waiting room. Then after a while they took me in to my room and went
over everything with me. Then they stuck in my IV, but with the numbing
shot or whatever it’s called, it was virtually painless. So then I just
waited there with my mom, watching TV. The anesthesiologist comes and talks
to me, so does the gynecologist. I think that’s what he was. And they were
all sooo nice. Just nice and made me feel calm and good, but if you tend to
be afraid and have anxiety I suggest asking for relaxation drugs
beforehand. I received Versed. They’ll give it to you right before the
procedure starts, it works very quickly. I felt relaxed, groggy, tired. Not
afraid anymore. The part I was most scared about was the anesthesia. But it
was so easy! They gave me propofol. I don’t even remember falling asleep, I
just remember him saying something like “let’s get started” and I blacked
out. Woke up, alert, but very slow. My actions and thoughts were really
slow but I could remember everything said and done. Then I got an orange
Gatorade and went home after 30 minutes. I was so shocked at how easy the
procedures were (I got an endoscopy as well). I couldn’t believe how afraid
I was. The worst part about it all honestly, is the fear beforehand and the
slight stomach ache and cramps afterwards. But they go away. So don’t be
worried. Well, it’s okay to be worried but you’ll realize how easy it was
and you’ll come out braver than you were before, trust me I went through
it. ❤️
There are good videos to help relieve the fears of Colonoscopies, then
there are great ones. Loved this one!
No. No way. I would need anesteshia!!!!!
The procedure is easy, its the preparation that sucks,LOL
i was never offered a sedative ,they just did the colonoscopy, i had to
find a way to deal with the pain ,and so much air in the colon
Do they use the same instrument to stick up every patient’s ass or will I
get a brand new unused one? That’s not something to share now is it?
Get the procedure done..it could save your life.Its not so bad,I just had
it done this week without a sedative.Piece of Cake
I had my colonoscopy two days and it was nothing. Waited until I was 57
and I was worried about nothing. But gentlemen the sooner the better.
Don’t be like me and procrastinate.
good information make more vides
do it! it saved my life thank you Bowel screening Wales
I sure hope its thin!!! Ugh
First time I had one done I woke up giggling like a kid. The nurse was
pushing on my abdomen and I was farting. Of course they do that to push the
air out that is blow into your rectum to open it up more.
Here in Australia when I had 9ne, the sedition ment I didn’t remember the
procedure at all. The nurse simply woke and there was no discomfort at all
and was able to go straight back into my regular diet. The cleaning out the
night before is the worst part and not that bad. Just be near a toilet for
that
This video is simple but perfect and clear. 👍👍👍
Had this procedure carried out recently & I also had a camera down my
throat to check for ulcer’s. TBH, I was nervous & worried beforehand. But I
cannot stress enough it’s a doddle & I never felt a thing. Only a small bit
of pressure in my tummy & that’s because of the air that’s pumped into your
colon. Even if they find polyps they are quite tiny & may look big on
screen to you, but remember there magnified & their no feeling if their
removed by the Doctor. So guys there’s no need to worry, just relax
yourself & totally put yourself at ease while it being done. When it’s all
over you’ll be served with refreshments & given time to settle before going
home. Best of luck to you all guys!
very informative thanks
I think I’m sick of the colon because I just shat water and I had so many
stomachaches for months. I wouldn’t mind a doctor shoving a tube up my ass.
😉
I heard this procedure costs around 7,000 dollars does that sound
right? Does medicare cover this?
what if you have pinworms?
I want this to happen to me
My uncle suffers from severe stomach pain. The doctor suggested that he
take a colonoscopy test. The test procedure will take two days. Is there
any alternative to a colonoscopy?
Good morning everyone i had my colon surgery yesterday and everythng went
fine. Back on sceduhle
At 0:58 …”H.R. Giger’s Alien” anyone?
nice video.thanks for sharing with us.
I am 14 and have to get both scopes done because I have crohn’s disease.
I’m so scared.
I got colonospopic done in Bangalore, no Anastasia was given and there was
mild discomfort and manageable on guidance of gastrology doctor. After
prescription I walked to office.
Why not use the pill camera? It is easy and not painful. You can exam the
whole gi tract too
I have to get one done in three days since a doctor discovered I have
polyps. I went to him saying I had hemorrhoids. I am yet to start the prep
and I am really scared. I also have no one to go with me so I hope my Uber
guy gets me home safe after. Sucks!!
I’m still scared. But less so after this video. Thank you.
Nice
if the doc corn hole s you puts a load in you doing fine it will come out
in hour
very useful videos
very good video
I have gotten 5 done so far and it’s not scary at all. I’m 14 years old and
I have sever chrohns disease. Well rn I’m back in the hospital (3 weeks)
and they don’t know if I have chrohns or colitis. But I had chrohns for a
year and 8 months. It’s been tough but this procedure is nothing I promise.
The doctors are nice and everyone is there to calm you down and make you
feel less scared. I get a slushee every time after I wake up .
Ok I’m not going to lie, the preparation sucks. You can’t eat for two days
and you drink a whole bunch bowl in 3 hours. I also drink it with Gatorade
(it’s what they suggest) and now I hate Gatorade but the procedure it’s
self does not hurt and I never feel any cramps or pain after the procedure.
There are some people who do not respond very well to the sedation. I had
colonoscopy with sedation and close to the end of the procedure, I felt a
serious pain in the lower back. My spontaneous reaction without thinking
was to grab back and pull the colonoscope out of my rectum. I was sedated,
but I felt the pain. As the doctor told me after removing a polyp, he had
to hold the wall of the intestine with a pair of tweezers, sometimes
causing pain. ,
It would probably be a lot less terrifying if they didn’t design the scope
to look like a screaming robotic anus caterpillar that barfs tools at your
polyps.
Damn I never thought butt cameras were so high-tech
I had a colonoscopy done a few weeks ago.
No polyps were found and the doctor told me that I would not need another
colonoscopy for another 10 years.
I have mine today! Fun times! lol
Just had this done yesterday an removed a hemorroid with banding man i can
feel the pressure in my anus from the banding but im praying no more
hemorroids ever
Got one tomorrow, best part of whole thing, propofol lol
At what age should I get my first procedure done?
My grandpa is getting this on monday
thanks for sharing this!
One of my friends just had this and he says its so goddamn painful…
what happens when the colon is perforated by the procedure ???
Are you asleep or just sedated? I have to get this in a few weeks
Nice
Prep is what is rough, the drinking of the stuff is yucky.
Very nice explanation
