The nurse asked why I was laughing so hard
I don't think they put you under general anesthesia for the procedure...
Edit: Apparently I don't know shit.

All people I know who have gotten colonoscopies have gotten general anesthesia.
Ah! Well. nevertheless,
They do if you ask for it
Where is the fun in that!? TIL.
Is it even traumatic?
Of all the medical invasive medical procedures one can have, a colonoscopy sounds the least scary. My only real concern would be the awkwardness of having a room of people all taking mental notes about how much ass hair I have.
I've gotten a gastroscopy without anesthesia and i do not recommend it. It's like swallowing a huge-ass branch, it sucks. From all i know, colonoscopy is worse. They do short term anesthesia with propofol for this stuff, it's much easier to recover from than the general anesthesia you'd get for a surgery.
ha! so they can laugh at my sphincter while i'm unaware? Not likely.
