Answer #1

They usually suggest getting one every 5 years after the age of 50…on a scale of 1 to 10…the pain level is 0…they knock you out, and you don’t remember anything.

Answer #2

Usually it ranges from 40 years and up. But it also depends if you have medical problems with your colon. I am in my early thirties and have to get one in the next couple of weeks, do to medical problems.
They don’t put a finger up there, they put a long slender tube with a camera at the end.
From what my doctor told me, you are knocked out for the procedure and it will take a couple of days to start to feel back to normal with going to the bathroom. The pain during the procedure should be a zero.
