Common questions
Is the bowel preparation difficult?
The cleansing drink is the least pleasant part and causes frequent loose stools, but it is essential for a clear and accurate examination.
Does the procedure hurt?
Sedation and pain relief keep most people comfortable; you may feel some bloating or cramping from the air used.
Can I drive home afterwards?
No, because of the sedation you will need someone to take you home and stay with you for the day.
