Colonoscopy

Well I'm having a colonosocopy in a few weeks and the brightside of it is I'll have a legit excuse to be diapered for 24 hours. I won't actually use the diapers but wil have them on in case something slips out. I plan on wearing one to the hospital and into the procedure, but will tell the nurse ahead of time. Should I wear a booster inside the diaper? I'll most likely untape it for them before I'm knocked out. What are the chances they'll change me after the procedure, I think I'll feel wierd asking them too? Maybe I'll leave an extra one out so after the procedure I will be all ready to go. Last time I was realy out of it and I can't picture being able to change myself in that state. Anyone else have any experience wearing while going in for a colonoscopy. Wish me luck. 😢

Just my take on this ski, having just had a colonoscopy this past Wednesday, but I don't believe they will be "changing" you or providing a new diaper after the procedure. If you're that wet, they will have to / or will be using suction to get enough water out to actually accomplish the procedure.

I would imagine most of thee nurses have "seen most if not all" of what our populace has to offer these days; it's all about pushing the most people through their facility per day and not wasting their time with our proclivities. In short, don't expect much attention to your diaper proclivities unless actually needed.

Being a bit self-conscious of the delayed leakage from using the colon cleansing chemicals I have worn a diaper up and until stripping for the procedure. Afterwards you will not need any kind of diapering for a few hours or not until you start drinking fluids again. Yes they have seen all of it and it is appreciated that the patient maintains some form of cleanliness by controlling leakage (late evacuation) until they do the procedure. Most folks have the procedure done under anesthetic and after recovery can just put your clothes on and diaper if you find it necessary and leave the facility. Unless you ask you will not know what they did - how well the procedure went - and the end result in cleaning you up afterward. Not a big issue - just ask. I have had three - family history. The preparation for the procedure is the unpleasant part and forget wearing diapers once you start - you will not be able to put them on fast enough for a few hours until your system has moved most of the fecal matter downstream and flushed away. Toward the end a few hours before the procedure wearing a diaper will help control the very small amount of leakage - something that toilet tissue or a pad could easily fix. Relax you need not be terribly concerned except for the results if they find something of interest !

I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy next month. I've been thinking about it a lot and wondering if the doc can tell that I use anal toys like butt plugs. I've had a strap-on on used on me a bunch of times as well. Will he be able to tell? Just wondering.

No, not to worry.. he won't be able to tell,

He can't tell unless you've hurt yourself and doesn't care beyond your health. I'm having my 4th one on Friday.

I've had a total of four colonoscopies and have never had a doctor comment on my "inner workings" being well used. As a long time anal fanatic, I think you should be safe with your secret. 😃

Had my third one two week ago and Doc didn't say anything about a stretched butt hole. Just didn't have any anal play two week prior to the colonoscopy.

Have heard that a test for anal molesting or rape of minors etc is to touch the anus, it should clench automatically if unused to being touched there, im aware that mine doesnt probably due to much use over the years so maybe a dr may notice a lack of twitch when lubing for a colonoscopy or similar ?

This was the theory, now completely discredited, used by Dr. Marietta Higgs in the North East. She took numerous children away from their parents, and accused the parents of molesting the children. She was removed from having any contact with children. Don't pay too much attention to this theory.

Before the doctor inserts the scope, they always do a DRE. They're checking for obstruction and sphincter tone.

Anal play, unless extreme and frequent, won't change how your body works. Someone like me, who has frequent DREs as part of my job, has less conscious resistance to the exam, but not a change in sphincter tone.

Well we will see there is a big smiley face inside my cecum across from the small intestine connection maybe a few peakaboos written at various spots like graffiti would keep them honest to see if they really looked....😃

When I was going for my last one, a friend suggested edible glitter.

I was hoping my gastro would notice at my last colonoscopy! He started out with a DRE and noted that I have good anal/rectal tone and proceeded with the colonoscopy. My colon is excellent with no polyps at all. He said I should have another one in ten years. Unfortunately, I have Barrett's esophagus that has progressed to esophageal cancer and I will not likely need his services in ten years.

Sirwilliam55, I've heard a similar thing about anal tightening. I get annual prostate checks with my physical and attempt to remember to clench when the doctor touches me with the lubed finger. I love anal penetratons, enemas and plugs so normally I relax completely and even push a little when my back door is touched. It makes perfect sense to me that an anus unused to touching would naturally clench, while one whose owner is an experienced anal enthusiast would (even subconciously) relax and accept the visitation. Not that a doctor would ever mention his noticing.

Paulie, I just read your post here of 3-2014 for the first time. I'm glad to (I think) still see your posts here - I enjoy your writing and have always liked your avatar. I'm in a somewhat similar position. I've had bad reflux for 30 years and now have Barrett's on the last gastroscope. I hope and send you all my best wishes and am praying for your successful course. All the best,

Eric

I had my first colonoscopy on March 2nd 2018. When I doctor first suggested I have a colonoscopy the first thought was why colonoscopy? When I was having some bad issues with hemorrhoids (I am not a patient pooper I prefer to go into the bathroom get my business done and get out) my second question was since it was only hemorrhoids I was dealing with I thought they would do a sigmoidoscopy and look at the descending also I am only in my only 42 don't you normally do these things after age 50. Well anyways that is what he wanted. So going through the preparation which is by far the worst part of the whole procedure. I just couldn't handle drinking a gallon of this disgusting GaviLyte-G so after drinking about half I said forget it and I took out the Old Red Rubber bag and gave myself 3 enemas the night before to thoroughly clean myself out. I must have been squeaky clean by then. The day of the colonoscopy I was quite worried about having an accident. Since I do use diapers primarily at night due to a neurogenic bladder with some Daytime issues I decided to put a Tranquility diaper on and took a backup Wellness diaper and Abena diaper just in case. I had my mother take me to my appointment since a few months prior I did the same for her because they will not allow you to drive yourself home. When I was finally called I got back and what's taken inside and was instructed to disrobe and place a gown on approximately two weeks earlier I had surgery on my shoulder and I was unable to tie my gown the nurse came in I explained the situation I know she saw my diaper and she didn't bat an eye. She said that was fine they didn't want the back tied anyway. They did all their pre-op stuff and placed an IV shunt. After all that was said and done they wheeled me into the procedure room. The nurses we're busy around me one placed the oxygen nostril tubes while the other one prepared the equipment. The doctor came in and we talked a little bit he asked what to play on the radio and I said that doesn't really matter I'm not going to be here all that much longer referring to the fact is I was going to be knocked out. I told him I normally listen to talk radio he said that would drive him nuts so he put on some Johnny Cash. The nurse then came and asked me to lie on my left side with my left leg straight and bend my right leg she open my gown and expose my diaper. She bent over to ask me if I had anymore diapers since she was afraid of tearing the diaper. I told her I did have more. She then proceeded to untape the diaper and pull it down to expose my well shaven bottom. I figured I would shave even around my anus why should they have to deal with all that disgusting hair, anyway I was in position and ready for them to begin the procedure. One of the nurses came towards me with a syringe she told me it was a combination cocktail of anesthetics with fentanyl to help me forget the procedure she inserted it into the IV and I was out. I do remember feeling full a couple of times that must have been when they filled me up with air. Anyway roughly an hour later I wake up in recovery. I am pretty much all ready to go I start in the bed getting dressed I place a new Wellness diaper on myself but was having difficulty taping it up so I ask a nurse with help she told me to lay back and she proceeded to tape up my diaper. She assisted me with getting dressed I got my discharge papers and instructions and was told I should have a colonoscopy every three to five years and then I left. It wasn't a very scary procedure as I stated before the prep was the worst part. One polyp was found and removed I got the information back that it was non-cancerous and that was my experience.

I kinda know what you mean mws. Two weeks ago, my very good friend had to go in for colonoscopy. He was off the Wall, flipping out, over having to have the procedure done. But like you mws, he was more bummed out by the prep for the procedure, then the procedure itself. I put in a lot of time, trying to help him through it, and keep him from canceling the whole thing.

I have not been through it myself, first hand yet, but I’m at that age. Maybe a bit past time. Nobody wants to have to face the fact, of needing to have it done, but I guess, when you gotta, you gotta. It does help me to know, people around me have been there already. I know I can rely on my friend, who just went through it, for sure. But still, when my time comes, I’m not looking forward to the prep.

I agree that all that nasty stuff you have to drink before the procedure is by far the worst part of it. This is where those who are into enemas have a big advantage, you can clean out that way instead.

NO YOU CANNOT.

You MUST drink the stuff and do a top to bottom cleanout.

I just had a colonoscopy a week ago and the Miralax/Gatorade prep was tolerable and with good results for the procedure

I have a serious question for our medical professionals. Since my bowel resection, I have trouble getting cleaned out for my colonoscopies. I drink the PEG solutions until I expel yellowish fluid. Then the day o the scoping, I have waste inside me. My gastro. told me to take an enema the morning of the scoping. I am wondering if I can add bisacodyl to the enema to get a very clean result. I know that gastros say to never add soap to the enema due to the false positive appearance of early ulcerative colitis from the soap irritation. I am wondering if the bisacodyl will also give the false positive appearance. Should I use tap water, or add the bisacodyl to ensure a clean colon?

You can add bisacodyl. Some Dr's preps include about six, 5mg ORAL tablets as part of the prep for that reason.

"You MUST drink the stuff and do a top to bottom cleanout."

Shows what I know.... :-)

Do a search for colonoscopy here and you will see.

Colonoscopy prep has been well discussed here.

As an incontinent dude who has logged more hours in the hospital then some people who work there , I can say the answer is yes, if you are wet or messy the nurses will change you ,when your coming out anesthesia and it's unsafe for you to be up , they will signal that usually by having the sidereal up and locked .now if your always a hazard like me , your bedrail will always be up and you wear a bright yellow bracelet that says fall risk, some people don't know there limitations so they have those bands for nurses to easily recognize that you shouldnt be walking unasisted , in fact I don't need any of that to remind me because they don't park my wheelchair in the room, and i refuse to crawl to find it and ask somebody to pick me up and put me in it! LOL

But back to your question most doctors will suggest you wear a diaper and all nurses will change you if you need it .

My last stay in the hospital was for encaphalopathy/ Stroke because my blood was to thick so i was getting massive amounts of fluid IV and orally and the nurses changed me every half hour because if they went any longer they had to change alot more then my diaper (as in everything on the bed including gowns bedding blankets got soaked).

PSA from someone who is fighting (and beating) rectal cancer: I'm alive today because I had a colonoscopy.

And, none of the many, many people who have looked up my butt as part of this journey have had a word, question, or comment about enemas, plugs, or dildoes.

I don’t think so. They do so many one rectum looks the same as another. BYU

The drink is awful☹️

Is it your first colonoscopy? The worst part of it is the prep the day before. A miserable ordeal, but absolutely necessary. You can actually prevent the onset of colon cancer by going for routine scoping. They find something and promptly pluck it out. Very very important and successful, especially if you have a family history.

As for whether or not the GI doctor could tell about your activities, 1) no I don’t think so. I’d guess that it would take years and years of hard stretching which would maybe develop scar tissue, but I doubt that you’re at that level.

2) Even if he could tell, he won’t care. At all. He’s making major $$ doing what he’s doing, has performed colonoscopies hundreds of times, seen it all in there. He won’t care, he’s a professional. Worry about what he might find, not about what he thinks concerning any signs that you indulge in anal play. He might actually do it to himself too! You never know...

I've had a number of colonoscopies. As someone else has said the solution process you take the previous day to clean you out, together with lack of food, makes the day a bit of a challenge.

On the day the doctor's finger up your anus first to help widen the entry. Then the camera and tube inserted and the exploration begins.

I was able to see via the monitor what the camera was seeing. It was like a journey through a pink tunnel, but made little sense to me.

I found the process uncomfortable and had to use Entonox for some relief.

To answer the question, I doubt whether the doctor could tell any signs of anal play. In any event the camera quickly moves inside your anal system.
