I have to say a colonoscopy is not bad at all ! I dreaded it . Nothing like you have imagined . Just go and they wheel you in the patient operating room ; they give you some Michael Jackson milk and you wake up and pain free and no after effects except gas . Saved my life back earlier when I was having low BP and NO energy . I was bleeding internally from a palop on the very end of my colon . They removed it and stitched me up and again as I shared - pain free . Get it done .

Nothing compared to a prostate biopsy . What I had blood in my urine for about 3 weeks and blood that was nasty looking in my seaman . No pain , just discomfort . But really get the o-scope and colonoscopy . Pain free and if that PSA gets high get a biopsy ASAP . just because you have high PSA does not me you have prostate cancer but if PSA is high possible enlarged prostate . in 2017 they did a biopsy on me and I had a gleason score of 2 and the Dr and I decided to watch and wait so 5 years later I have another biopsy and I was a Gleason score of 7 and my prostate had doubled in size from 33 cm to 69 cm so we agreed to pull the trigger and hopefully be able to remove it .

Due to back in 2020 my body went septic and they attached an abdominal pump , to pump plosion out of my belly and there may be too much scar tissue to remove the prostate . If they cannot remove it then they will radiate and I do not want a rotting organ in my body . So we shall see .
Second that regarding the colonoscopy; however I hated the prep like nothing else.
