If you are afraid that you have colorectal cancer or other problems with the colon you doctor may send you for a colonoscopy procedure.

Often the only way to truly diagnose colorectal cancer symptoms or other colon or digestive problems, GERD, IBS, etc is to get a colonoscopy exam.

If this is your first colonoscopy, you may have plenty of reservations.

Will I be embarrassed?

Will it hurt?

What will they do to me?

Plus many other questions.

I had a Colonoscopy procedure done recently. I wrote an article on it in hopes that it gives you a good idea what you are in for.  I talk about my experience in detail and hope that this article eases any discomfort or reservations you have about taking this important examination. I wrote the article on Hubpages, which is a great site for learning about a variety of topics. Please check it out.
