How Safe Is Having Colonoscopy Done Twice?
I had a Colonoscopy in the 90's and felt everything it was very painful. The Nurse;s told me that I had so many abdominal surgeries that is why. My colon was like cement. Can I be assured that I will not feel anything if I have another one I am now 55 and have not had one since because I am scared.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Well it is more painful if you had colorectal surgeries in past but so many years after surgery there shouldnt be some significant pain. Also,it can be dine under general anasthesia so consult your doctor about it.
Wish you good health. Regrads
