Colonoscopy
My doctor has recommended a colonoscopy but wants to do it without sedation as it is a clinic and she does not have anaesthesia support. Can it be done without sedation ? I heard it is very painful - what is the preferred way.

It's slightly painful procedure, also depends on case to case. If you are ok you can come down to my hospital can be done under short sedation.
