Anysurgeryis really scary, but one of the scariest of all is a colonoscopy.
But, honestly, it’s not all that bad.
Sounds pretty painful, right?
First, you’re sedated during the procedure, so you won’t feel any pain whatsoever, perGastrodoxs.
You won’t need any additional follow-up appointments.
If all is well, you won’t need another colonoscopy for 10 years.
A once-in-a-decade procedure to screen for a potentially fatal disease like colon cancer?
Well, your physician needs to see an empty colon.
(Think of it as a “mini-cleanse.")
As for the diet, perMayo Clinic, you’ll be restricted to aliquid-only diet.
However, the diet isn’t permanent.
Once the procedure is over, you go back to your daily go-to foods.
A colonoscopy isn’t that bad.
Plus, it might very well store your life.
