Im 40 and had my first one a month and a half ago because i had some dull pain in the butthole shortly before pooping. Have a family history of polyps so the doc recommended a colonoscopy. They found and removed a polyp and saw evidence of pst internal hemorrhoids that are now dormant. The entire process was painless and the anesthesia they use is nothing short of amazing. Out like a light and no grogginess when i came out of it.
Glad everything turned out well for you. I strongly urge anyone with concern to contact their doctor. Colonoscopies are a great preventative inspection that can save lives. I heard that they are lowering the recommended age from 50 to 45 because colon cancer is becoming more common in younger men, and if caught early the treatment is very successful when compared to other cancers
