Most probably because of two reasons.
Okay, it’s usually not very pleasant to have a camera stuck up your arsehole, but sometimes it’s really necessary. Colonoscopies are the golden mean to detect colon cancer and various other conditions, and I guess that says enough.
Probably the biggest turn-off for most people is the cleansing — your colon needs to be empty and clean for maximal visibility (cf. the image).
So yeah, you have to take a laxative and stop eating and drinking for a while before the colonoscopy.
And indeed, shitting your insides out is not the most pleasant of hobbies. Your arsehole in particular might also not be pleased.
Another nuisance for some patients might be the fact that some colonoscopies are done without sedation — often at the request of the patient, by the way.
Not my thing.
But don’t worry — it can be a worse.
When I had my colonoscopy, having been wheeled into the OR in my bare ass, I was welcomed by a team of doctors and nurses who I all knew on a friendly basis (through my girlfriend who works in that hospital).
It’s pretty hard to keep up appearances when your friends are all looking at your naked ass.
