You'll probably be given something like midazolam - it will certainly "take the edge off", as well as fuzz your memory of the whole thing afterwards... Good luck!

i'm suprised that no-one ,of the doctors he's seen , has done a Digital Rectal Examination on the OP yet ...

DRE can rule in or rule out quite a few things with the urinary tract ...
This is also being done on the same day, double entry and all that! eek

I don't think you will be either .
More than nips a bit after the local antistehic (sp)
Plus next time you pee you end up with air trapped in the bladder and you make some weird whilsting noises
Not unlike a old fashioned kettle !
I'm definitely going to be sedated Mr Hovis, it says so on my letter.

Looking forward to hearing my knob whistling in a weird kind of way!hehe
It may say so, but I had a sigmoidoscopy (camera up the jacksy) last year.

My letter said fast etc because you are to be sedated.

When I got their the surgeon bloke said he preferred not to sedate, since it was safer of I was awake and alert because my reactions helped him in his work. Hence the sedation bit was skipped.

I had two last year, neither of which I was sedated for. The first was aborted after I was still blocked.

The second, I had to drink Fleet something or other for this, which was interesting in itself. Especially when I realised I had taken the stuff early, I mistakenly thought my appointment was a day early. (Always double, triple check the appointment letter!!) Anyway, the second was aborted after I had a fit of some description with the camera hanging out of my ass!

OP, If you need a sigmoidoscopy don't worry too much, it's not painful. Just very uncomfortable.

Best wishes.

Is a sigmoidoscopy like the colonoscopy and they inflate your bowel with gas to open the passages? Afterwards you have the king of all farts to get rid of!

Thats the one.

Except I felt that I needed a bloody good dump. Nurse said just let it go. I couldn't and insisted on sitting on the crapper. Boy did it rattle round the bowl.

Or in my case a giant lubey fart!

Did anyone else have to watch? I was told I'd be able to choose whether to see it or not but this was not the case.

I was always planning on watching as I'm interested in things, but wasn't prepared to see me on the bed, hairy arse hanging out and zooming closer and closer until hellooooooo!

Would have preferred an artful cutscene and then the scene from within!

For me it was on the screen in front of me, but I just didn't look that much.
