Colonoscopy
I had one done a few years ago. I just want to add a different experience than some of the people who have written. I was awake and aware during the whole procedure. I found it fascinating to see my colon on the monitor. They never show you the colonoscope but I think it is a rather small diameter. I did have some internal pain during the procedure, but nothing like having a dentist work on your teeth. I found it much more fascinating than painful. And when you are in recovery, you can fart all you want, in fact they encourage it. That's something you don't get to experience every day!
