Colonoscopy Advice

[ndrosen]

A word to the wise: if you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, buy a pack of adult incontinence garments in advance. When those laxatives are in your gastrointestinal tract, you may not be able to make it to the toilet; there may be only a brief moment between feeling the urge to move your bowels, and experiencing at least some leakage.

This time, I was prepared. When I underwent my first colonoscopy in 2025, I wasn’t. Be prepared, first timers.
