An anesthetic drug is an option if you want. I don't like it. The colonoscopy was really painful for the first time in Izola Hospital. But next, after five years in one Ljubljana medical center was smooth if I compare :)

You had a choice and you said no? What are you, Hulk? They told me that since I'm 21, they don't give it to anyone over 18. This was my first time, so I didn't know what pain in the ass this shit was (literally). The second time in UKC Ljubljana was just as bad. I asked about it, and they said, "Miss, you need to ask for that two weeks before the exam." I was furious. No painkillers, nothing... just "come here, lady, we’re sticking this tube in you now." Never again in Slovenia. I bow to you, sir! 😂

It doesn't have to hurt. No one was in pain when I talked to friends who have been through it. It depends most on how messed up your bowels are. Thin, tall, and thin people have more knotted intestines, and anesthesia is recommended for them, but not for the rounder ones (like me). But in Izola, the first time I went, it wasn't very good, and in Ljubljana I almost didn't even feel it.

You are the first one without pain. Everybody else told me it was horror. Also for me. But in Austria, they know how to do it the right way 😊
