Hi All,
I have recently had hemorroid attack. After several medications the pain didnt go away. My doctor suspects a fistula and also crohn's as my body is not responding to medications and also because of the frequent, crampy diarrhea. She has suggested a colonoscopy for diagnoses.
What I am worried about it, is the colonoscopy prep. The diarrhea i will have to go through to clean the colon. It wil only hurt my anas more. I can barely sit right now and I fear i will be worst after it. Also, inserting the cam through anas might hurt or damage my anas or fistula more ( atleaßt thats what i fear). Should i be worried?
Also my doctor mentioned operating to mend the fistula and get me rid of hemmoroid. Would she do it during colonoscopy ? ( i dont remember) is it possible?
I am scared.. and very depressed. I dont want to go through another torture as I am already emotionally drained. If i refuse to go through colonoscopy, i fear I will miss the chance to fix the real issue. I know its for my own good. But I just cannot cONvince my self at this point.
Please tell me if the colonoscopy unavoidable for me or not. Thank you for your time
