Colonoscopy

Hi every one I’m due for a colonoscopy on Tuesday I’m feeling really scared don’t really feel.upto the procedure as I really suffer with stress and anxiety but I know I need to do this  I have been feeling as if I need to poo but some times it’s just reddish pus and feeling very gassy but because of feeling I need to poo I’m always in the bathroom , been having problems for a while now. I thought maybe I just had internal piles but when I went to my gp doctor couldn’t see or feel any thing so did a fit test which came back positive  so I was referred for a colonoscopy  I’m so scared of having cancer  not looking forward to the bowel prep  I think your all a lot braver than me   Xx

  • It does take a while. I'm sorry you're going through this worry. You'll get through the prep stuff. It's not nice but you've done the active hard part, taking the solution when you're nervous about it, and then you'll be through this and the colonoscopy in no time.

    I had one a couple of years ago. It was just IBS for me, thankfully, though.

  • About 7 this evening  I’m really bloated  been to loo but not the runs but having said that I haven’t hardly been eating for around 8 weeks with worth unless I don’t have much to come out 

  • Maybe I should stay up all night  incase I need the loo through the night 

  • I would have thought it should be working by now ,mine was all finished by the time I went to bed around 11 ,but I believe I started mine around 5pm and I had the second lot around 8pm 

  • A lot of it becomes fluid when it's working. Are you dehydrated?

    I was back and forth to the toilet a lot through the night but it didn't stop me trying to sleep before it kicked in. It was late before I experienced urge then it was early morning before it stopped.

  • I think it’s working now  at long last 

  • Hi think it’s working now  

  • Good news .

  • I’m still going to the toilet been going most of the night but I’m still not clear  still got colour  my stomach is making horrid noises feels uncomfortable

  • It is really horrible. I'll be glad for you when you're through it. What time's your appointment? If you're concerned that you might not be clear in time it might be worth giving them a phone and seeing if they can advise something to do.

    I hope you get answers but that nothing worrying is found.
