I went to the doctor today and told him about the intestinal bleeding I have been getting, I have been getting this for many years but never did anything about it (it started when I was a teenager and didn't want to talk about it and as I got older I brushed it off), and he is sending me for a colonoscopy to make sure I don't have IBD. Now on one hand I'm curious to finally find out what's going on, but on the other hand I am scared to get this done because of the preparation for it, the needle for the anaesthesia, being under anaesthesia, and having a camera in ma butt. And the fact I get anxiety

I'm not sure when it will be, it could be a while, but I'm really conflicted about it. Everyone keeps telling me it will be fine but I'm a total coward, I got anxiety just going to the GP today, let alone doing all this at a hospital.
