Colonoscopy

Body: 

Christine-or anyone who has had this done?
What would we do in case of rectocele in regard to colonoscopy's?
My dad just had one and from the description...I would be really aprehensive in having one done since I have a rectocele.
Could it potentially damage you?

I am 43 in October so not the age yet that they reccommend but my dad's complete and essayed description...oh yeah sent a minute by minute report to us girls...fun reading!!!
of his experience...he is a freak :))...made me wonder if they are a good idea for those of us with rectocel's especially.
Thanks,
Therese

My mother has POPs and had a colonoscopy years ago - I dont think she had any change because of it...

But it would be nice to know....

I had a colonoscopy a few months ago. I have a cyctocele. All was fine.

Hi

a book called "what doctors don't tell you" (great book btw) is pretty critical of this test saying for example it is responsible for deaths in one in 2000 pple (from heart or respiraroty complications).. infection's a huge issue

They go on to say get a lot of info and weigh up the pro's and con's i.e is it really neccesary
