Flexible Sigmoidoscopy! Not had that pleasure I`m afraid! I would say it sounds like fun but it doesn`t! But if it identifies a problem that's fixable then it`s worth a little discomfort I would say!

Yup, had it done last year as part of the new NHS bowel cancer screening programme. Didn't take very long and was uncomfortable rather than painful. You get a feeling of stomach cramps but it's only because of the air they pump in during the procedure. No after-effects and hopefully a clear result  2012 SD4 XS Santorini Black

Had it done in Nov 2014 and it identified my prostate trouble. Bowels were given a clean bill of health despite the "biopsies" taken. Yes, very uncomfortable at times, but worth the 10 - 15 minutes of discomfort as the other option was to be put out and that meant staying in a couple of hours after the procedure and you couldn't drive yourself home.Oh, and I also got to watch the whole procedure on the screen. I found it rather fascinating. I mean, when else are you going to get the opportunity to see inside your own body like that, and in real time too.

Not personally but thanks to Crohns (I have arthritis instead) many of my family (both brothers and a cousin) have and my wife also has regular checks due to Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
As others have said some discomfort but over fairly quickly and worth it if it can help prevent or catch issues early.

MRI and CT scan next Tuesday Excuse the pun but a bit of a bummer !

Decided to cancel my trip to Nepal in 2 weeks time, I was lucky enough to have been there last year for a month so not devastated but a lot of hassle sorting out travel insurance. Maybe my next topic  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Now I know what a H2502 is! In a previous life I used to use intrascopes on an almost daily (or nightly) basis, doing internal inspections on gas turbine engines. Little did I know that in more recent times I would be the subject matter. I have been well and truly kebabbed over recent years, from both ends, looking for a “bleed”. I learnt all about sigmoidoscopies and double balloons from that!
The result? Just keep taking the iron pills!

. . . and not of course forgetting the lovely shorts you get to wear, with that convenient cut-out.

Finally Yorky, if you're having an endoscopy as well, make sure they use two separate tubes or at least do the top end first

Sid, my mate in Scotland asked them that and nurse said " that's for us to know".  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

If that air hits reverse, it's instance colonic irrigation. Now how much would that cost you privately
