Testimonials

What symptoms led you to have this procedure?
 
The main symptom that led me to have a colonoscopy was a hemorrhoid that didn't seem to be healing. Also, my doctor had noticed that I had some rectal bleeding so he scheduled me for a colonoscopy.
There were no symptoms. It was just something that the doctor recommended. I saw this as a remarkable opportunity.
Well, I woke up one morning and after using the toilet noticed there was some blood in the water. That really got my attention!
I had no symptoms at all. It was purely a preventative thing. This is just something that is recommended be done every few years. So I thought, well... good.
