Talk about an invasive species....just had that procedure this week, and urologist found nothing wrong. 3rd time I've been subjected to that embarrassing torture and 3rd time nothing was seen. Sick nurse was prepping my member and scolded me for getting an erection.

Hopefully she was a 'hottie', even
if a little 'prudish' (hey, lady, I'm a
GUY !) - you wouldn't want 'Nurse
Ratched' handling your 'tool' !

TMI sinker.

Guy I worked with a while back was a big badass lookin dude, about 6 foot 7, pretty good shape, carried himself well - went to the urologist for that procedure and said he held nothing back - was screaming and hollering the whole time. As he was leaving he noticed that the waiting room had emptied - not a soul.

So why not just do the colonoscopy? Why subject folks to that particular form of awfulness? Can you tell me?

Colonoscopy is not the same, I had that done years ago and they sedated me for that, don't remember any of it. What I had was a tube the size of 400lb mono shoved up into my bladder....had a camera inside

That is not a sigmoidoscope. A sigmoidoscope is a instrument used to view the interior of the sigmoid colon. What you had was a cystoscopy. Be very very glad that a sigmoidoscope wasn't used.

I had a bunch of tests done with Mr Kilbasa and yes dam good looking and very nice nurses. The cool part is they still gave me a huge hug before and after every procedure and they apologized. The thing one hot Female DR told me is she tells her husband details about what she does each day and he always says your never doing that to mine.

It's ok SR. Think, what if I hadn't told you and they did schedule you for a sigmoid? You might be more than little upset about that.

Been there for all of the above.
I was nighty-night for the colonoscopy, but for the sigmoidoscopy I was upside down with what felt like a baseball bat pushed all the way in.

My advice: if you ever hear the term "Sigmoidoscopy", you gather that split-tail gown around you and go HIDE!

As for the cystoscopy, I had that just recently, and then the "Roto-Rooter" procedure.
I have to give the Doc and his staff high marks. Although I was bringing them kind of a personal matter, they put me completely at ease. It was all very matter-of-fact, I was no more uncomfortable that if I were having a keratosis frozen off my nose. And the best part is that when it snows again, I'll be able to write my name in BOLDFACE!

By the way, that's the only use I have for ever learning cursive!

I had urinary bladder stones lasered (they blow em up with a green laser!) and while they were in there they did a TURP - trans urethral resection of the prostate. All I had to do was walk around with a catheter for about 10 days. I'm good now for another 100,000 miles or so.

I wish I could of done something like that for Prostate Cancer. I did treatment. I am not guaranteed any long term mileage though. I do know I was told I would live five years but guaranteed never to see 15 years without treatment or removing it.

All the men on dad side have it. By 55 years

I didn't have cancer. Yet. But things were not looking good up there, so Doc said we might as kill two birds with one stone. Get it? One stone?

It was a pretty simple procedure and not a whole lot of discomfort, so I'm pretty glad I had it done. That was 5 or 6 years ago.
