Prostate exam involves a finger up your butt. Colorectal exam involves a camera on a long tube that sprays air as it goes up your butt, and you'll be farting all day afterward. You also have to consume a water mixture that makes you shit your guts out all night before the procedure. They're both not a whole lot of fun. Having a desk job, hemorrhoids are pretty regular, even with a fancy pants spring memory foam padded Serta chair. Ass pain and Prep H are just something I live with now.

Hmm, guess you're right. I just had the colonoscopy and it required 28 hours of fasting, plus drinking that god-awful mixture, then being put under. Aside from the drink you have to take, it was fine.

That godawful mixture alone makes me avoid having a colonoscopy... My ass will probably just eventually fall out or something. My doc still does the prostate exam with a finger, but she's got petite little Latina fingers, so it's all good.

Does she look deeply into your eyes while she's doing the examination?

When your doctor tells you that you have cancer and you think to yourself, oh that's no big deal I've done this before.

When you hear someone talk about their fear of death and you reply that you've died once and it wasn't big deal.

My doctors have all been male.

First doctor that gave me the finger had fingers that looked like sausages. I have big hands, but his index finger (which is what I assumed he used) was about the size of 2 of my fingers. The worst part is, I was in my 20's and I don't know why he felt I needed a prostate exam. I mentioned it to future doctors when I went in for checkups, and none of them could ever figure out why he did it either. Whatever he saw he apparently didn't make a note in the medical records they saw. So I guess I've been old since my early 20's.

Sat through a 90m all hands meeting today, lady next to me when we got up to leave made the comment, "I really feel old when getting up out of those seats and my everything hurts." lol, truth.

Are you sure it was his finger in you? I mean, did you look behind you and see his finger going into your butthole? Cos if not...

I could never reach the top of the prostate with my sausage fingers. But I'll give it a good try, I tells you. It's the high point of the day.

What it felt like

Synj · Jul 11, 2018

Reporting back, got the camera up the peener, not comfortable at all but it could have been worse.

Big prostate blocking up my pisshole but nothing malignant. Talking about doing a lift to open it up so I can piss normal again. In office procedure under sedation.

Next step is rectal US to get my exact prostate measurements. Joy.

Also: thank god I didn't go into urology. Pissholes and assholes all day every day. Fuck that noise.

So you only avoided the pissholes?

Eating anything remotely unhealthy makes me feel like death the morning after.

What the fuck is a food hangover and why is bread an asshole

Discovered I'm pretty lactose intolerant, and acidic stuff like cheap pizza sauce gives me horrible indigestion. I basically blow out the next day after eating mac n cheese, and pizza has been all but removed from my diet. Bread is fine. Found most people blame bread, or noodles, but 99% of the time it's actually cheese or dairy products. :-\

Time to get some blood samples.

For those that don't want to go the colonoscopy route there is now Cologuard. Basically you shit into a plastic container with a nuclear grade lid and mail it off for DNA testing that can discern whether you have cancer or not. If it comes back positive THEN you get a colonoscopy/
