    As for the original poster, I think perhaps he wanted to be absolutely sure that everything was OK with your prostate. It is, after all, a gland that is about the size of a walnut.

    I know all that it's just that he was trying to have a conversation with me AND explain ALL that he was feeling.

    Yes! That is the name of the procedure. For some reason I can never remember the name correctly.

    Wait till you have the exam where they use a camera. Not the colonoscopy, I was put to sleep for that one. This exam just take journey through the large intestine. They actually fill you up with CO2. Yes, they shove a camera up your ass that also has a nozzle at the end to inflate your intestine. When it is over, the doc says "get ready, I am going to remove the camera and you are going to pass wind." It is more like hurricane Katrina comes out your butt. Humiliating and painful. :(

    When I had appendicitis and they wanted to confirm, they did some test that required them to fill me up with a liquid contrast solution. THAT was extremely unpleasant. I wish it was just air that had to come back out when it was over. And I wish it came out all at once, instead of unannounced at random times over the next several hours.

    I was in the ER before the test when they came in and told me I needed to drink a bunch of this contrast solution. Then they said, "We're also going to give it to you in an IV and per rectum." In total fear, I went, "Per rectum??!! I've never had anything per rectum!!" My 60-year-old office mate who had come with me to the ER just smiled and said, "I have!" That made me laugh, but I was still freaked out enough that they had to give me a shot of Ativan.
