Is Colonoscopy Advisable Without Anesthesia?
my father was to get a colonoscopy done yesterday for which he followed all the pre-requisistes.. however during the procedure due to acute pain he didn't allow the doctor to continue... now he is adamant on getting it done with anasthesia... is this recommended ?

hi.
if your father cannot tolerate it the first time, it is best if he undergo colonoscopy on anesthesia. if he is old, a cardio-pulmonary clearance will be done prior to the procedure.
hope this helps.
good day!!
