Just been told by my GP that I need a visit to the bum doctor. Just a looksee to check all is well

I've been reading about the preps you have to go through.

Anybody want to reassure me or is it all really true

 

[rusky]

You'll be fine, honest.

As a long time suffered of Colitis, you have my sympathies! Best advice "leave your self respect and modesty at the front door".

I find the run up far worse than the actual procedure; I go to Gartnavel Hospital where the staff are fantastic, everything is low key, matter of fact and respectful. I tell myself it is just a job to them and they have seen far worse (and better) than my backside. You always get something to relax you which makes it easier. If you are going in for an endoscopic exam it takes less than 15 minutes and with my exams they always distract me be talking to me.

You will be fine and knowing is better than worrying.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Nothing to worry about, I went through it all a couple of years ago, just because I was passing blood on occasions.

Started off, first doctor had a poke about with rubber glove and finger. He then recomended me to a specialist.

Went to specialists, nice gourgeous blonde nurse approached me and told me to drop my pants in front of her, I settled for just my trousers, but she wanted everything off, normally I would have had them off in a jiffy, but this was different, if I'd have known I could have done a bit of preprep to make the old man look a bit bigger, usually I'm poking them, but she was going to poke me I presumed. Anyway specialist gets me laid on a couch on my side with knees under my chin and sticks an object up where the sun don't shine. He has a good look round and cannot see anything, so he recomends me to go to see an other specialist.

I go to the next specialist, after having to take a enenma and clear my system out. Eventually once again I assume the position, and he then starts to ram a camera on a long tube up me. Whenever he got stuck he just pumped air into my pipework to inflate it so he can make progress. Don't know how many feet of this camera went up me, but I felt nothing apart for a bit of discomfort at times. All the time I was watching it live on a large monitor along with another gourgeous blonde nurse stroking my arm to comfort me. At one point he took a sample from my pipeworks, on the screen a claw came out of the camera, grabbed the lining of my pipework and ripped a bit off, but I felt nothing.

After that I was put in a recovery room for similar patients with the same examination, mixed with females, so that I could f**t to my hearts content to get out all the air in my system, but it was a bit embarrising. Anyway after about 30 mins I said I was OK so they let me go. Walking through the hospital, I could still feel all the air inside, when all off a sudden at a large junction in the corridors with lots of people to and froing I froze solid as I felt the almighty biggest f**t coming on and there was no stopping it if I kept moving. I remained in that position nipping it and slowly let it squeek out best I could. Was I glad to get in my car and f**t all the way home.

Anyway after all that they found nothing and presumed it just had to be down to anal fissures which anyone can get occasionally.

My regular cycling buddy is a gastroenterologist so I get all kinds of interesting stories while we're out doing the miles. He tells me that the rectum has an amazing ability to distinguish between liquid, solid and gaseous contents; the problems begin when people have an accident and lose the sensation in that nerve, so can no longer distinguish....

He was having a look around inside one lady recently when he found some thing he's never seen before in somebody's bowel: an oil slick. He checked her notes and found out that she was taking that weight loss drug that prevents the gut from absorbing fats.

Like I said, interesting....

Ah, I wonder if it was GSK's "Alli" (a lipase inhibitor), a well-known side-effect of which is rather indelicately referred to as "anal leakage". The manufacturers recommend that you dress in dark coloured clothing and take a spare pair set of strides to the office.

Excellent advice from a caring company!

Of course, unpleasant drugs like that wouldn't be necessary if was possible to regulate body weight naturally by eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise...

Give over. I could tell you some bum stories, but I haven't got the time.

I get to see what's left of my innards in glorious technicolour on a 37" Panasonic screen once a year. You'll be fine, especially if you get a sedative (which I love). Unfortunately I don't get the sedative any more so I have to grin and bear it.

I once had 2 x phosphate enemas back to back and the nurse said I should keep the fluid in for at least eight minutes not realising how diseased I was. One minute and twenty seconds later I was gripping the door frame to the hospital toilet watching the cleaner slowly clean the toilet floor.........47 minutes later I emerged and the nurse said "oh dear, maybe I should have used just the one". No s**t Sherlock.

You'll be fine. Don't mind me.
