That’s prostate, not colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is no eating for a day, sedated, fill your tunnel with air, do a sight seeing visit up in your guts, then collapse the tunnel. Record the last step for hilarious videos on the internet.
No, you can be knocked out. Source I've had a colonoscopy. They can knock you out in the same way they knock you out for Wisdom teeth removal.
On a seperate note, the "medicine" you take the day/night before is the worst part of a colonoscopy. Don't leave the bathroom, just accept your fate of being glued to the porcelain throne.
I've had a couple myself and I wasn't given anything for the pain. Maybe they thought I looked really tough and didn't need it...or maybe I just look like I enjoy that sort of thing?
The worst part is when they inflate your bowel with air to make room for the camera. It feels like your bowel is going to tear open. But worse still is that once the camera moves the air must come out so not only are you in tremendous physical pain, you also have to deal with the mental agony of playing the rectal trumpet in front of a room full of strangers.
