Experiences with

Colonoscopy

Hi everyone I've had a colonoscopy today im a little worried they had to take biopsies now I'm worried something serious is wrong 😪😪

Ask for a colonoscopy. Scans are unreliable and most drs admit they don’t always show the problem. Don’t put up with the pain, only you know how bad it is.

Had a telephone consultation this morning and making me an appointment for a colonoscopy. I am so scared so wanting words of encouragement please.

Colonoscopy soon, goodness knows how I will cope with the day before, very sore now!!

Just back from docs, have had a lot of mucus, so after internal anus check and found blood have been referred for two week colonoscopy. No diarrhoea, stools always solid, wondered what is causing all the mucus. Doc also requested Faecal Calprotectin and Faecal Immunochemical Tests.

Having colonoscopy tomoorw Getting ready to take the laxative and so stressed 😫 I see people here have had it and would like any advice also about the picolax Heard horror stories what’s the best way to take

Did you rule out other things by having a colonoscopy? Thanks

Is colonoscopy the correct advice or are there other options? Last colonoscopy 3 years ago (before radiation treatment) found and removed small polyp. Welcome all advice and opinions.

Another question Can I take mebeverine and buscopan before a colonoscopy? It says on letter to stop taking Imodium, codeine phosphate & lomotil 5 days before but doesn’t mention mebeverine and buscopan!

Hi there - I’ve recently had a CT colonoscopy following a regular bowel cancer screening. The Ct rather than a camera was because of an enlarged spleen and low platelets both due to CLL.

To all those that have had a colonoscopy, what happens during your examination? Any pain? I've got one on Friday & I'm scared stiff! Did you have a ct scan as well? My anxiety is very high atm due to going for this, Thankyou for any advice or tips.....

Hi everyone I had a colonoscopy today and I'm worried they had to take some biopsies now I'm worried something serious is wrong they did say everything else looks normal 😪😪😪

Is there any other exams that can help diagnose colon cancer except the colonoscopy.?

I had a colonoscopy last Sunday and apart from a single diverticula which the surgeon said was diverticulosis and of no cause for concern, however the symptoms which I had before the colonoscopy are still there. So what now? He discharged me and said no further treatment necessary.

Awaiting date for colonoscopy been told will deff be within 2 weeks and frankly am bricking it! Many thanks

Should I have another colonoscopy or would it still be internal hemmoriods

Got a colonoscopy in 5hrs, currently losing the world out my bum thanks to Mediprep. Have to admit though, I’m still scared as I’ve two, young, beautiful children who are my world and my wife is deceased so I’m their rock. 😭😭😭

Hi is there any other way to diagnose colitis/colon inflammation aside from colonoscopy? I feel like it is too invasive...

So I have a colonoscopy on Monday and I accidentally cut myself on my leg. Will I still be able to have a colonoscopy if I have a minor cut on my leg, its small.

Anyway, I recently found out that I have some uterine fibroids that might make it quite difficult for a colonoscopy to be performed on me.
