Anybody went through it before? Mind sharing how it went and its procedures?
Btw im refering to the test whereby the doctor inserts a scope into you via the mouth i think to see inside the colon and rectum.
endoscopy?
from mouth is see stomach
see colon and rectum is from behind
Lol wut from mouth all the way into rectum ? My dad had the colon scope test, found nothing other than piles =P
oops got it mixed up. How was it TTFU? painful? long? anyone can elaborate how is it like?
not painful though u will be able to feel the tube in ur body
u can request for the "anae"
it will make u a little drowsy, but will lower the level of discomfort
u will receive (or u have to go collect) the "laxatives" a few days b4 the session
u will keep going to toilet to so tt the insides will be cleaned
Its exciting =) Nothing lah really, just put one tube there and like see tv like that. See your colon.....

fireice is a staff nurse I think.
Ive heard that it just feels like ure suffocating. gd luck.
oh ya, i guess if its for the colon, then it wouldnt be through the mouth. Im working on eosinophillic esophagitis, where we scope the esophagus, and tht feels like ure suffocating.
why not say i is doctor?
see got any cancer growth
in colon or so ba
usually is to check for cancer (tumour, abnormalities)
sometimes it's just polyps
those with family history shd go check
did the family doc or GP tell u to go scope?
or u too fwee and want to do it urself?
