COLONOSCOPIES ARE TOO<br />
PAINFUL, EXPENSIVE, OR<br />
TIME CONSUMING<br />
You will actually be fully sedated when<br />
you have your colonoscopy; the process<br />
will actually put you into a state known<br />
as twilight sleep, the result of which<br />
will likely rid your memory of the entire<br />
procedure. It also only takes between 15<br />
minutes to half an hour at most, and you’ll<br />
be heading home within the next half<br />
hour after everything has wrapped up.<br />
You might also want to look into the<br />
“virtual colonoscopy”. This is non-invasive,<br />
without the need of a scope or sedation.<br />
3-D images of your colon can be generated<br />
through computed tomography scans,<br />
where a doctor can seek out any existing<br />
abnormalities. Just talk to your physician<br />
about which option will work the best for<br />
your needs.<br />
