when I die during my Colonoscopy next week. 😄 I mean, she has admin so she has the tools to carry on. I know darn well Colonoscopies are routine and they almost always go well, but I hate, and I mean HATE going under anesthesia. I dont like the loss of control and it makes me worry. Anywho, in the event of my untimely demise, sayonara and all. ---

Jeeez, that’s morbid. How many people die from colonoscopy’s? Deaths directly caused by colonoscopy are very rare. Most studies estimate the risk of death at roughly **1 to 3 deaths per 100,000 colonoscopies** (about **0.001%–0.003%** ). Some studies have found rates as high as about **1 death per 10,000–15,000 procedures** , particularly in older patients or when polyps are removed. The main causes of serious complications are: - A tear (perforation) in the colon - Severe bleeding after polyp removal - Heart or lung problems related to sedation or underlying medical conditions To put the risk in perspective: - The chance of dying from colonoscopy is **much lower than 1%**. - Colonoscopy screening helps prevent deaths from colorectal cancer by finding and removing precancerous polyps. If you’re asking because you’re considering having a colonoscopy, I can also explain how the risks change based on your age, health conditions, and whether it’s a screening exam or one involving polyp removal. ---

AI I assume. Yes, I am aware that it is very rare. However, I have a fear of anesthesia and being put under it. Joan rivers had an incident where she died during a routine endoscopy, for example. I logically know its not likely, but I still have the willies about it. ---

You’ll be ok. I’m sorry you are scared. Maybe ask for a form of anesthesia that doesn’t cause loss of consciousness??? I know someone who was awake for his colonoscopy ---

Dude. I was supposed to/planned to have a D&C this coming Monday… It’s where they put you to sleep, forcefully dilate your cervix and then scrape out your uterus 🫠 (I was having issues with postpartum stuff. I’ll save yall the details) But those issues have completely disappeared now… Soooo… I’m totally not gonna get that procedure done now… [Next page](https://schizophreniasupport.discourse.group/t/so-i-guess-sweetpotatopie-will-be-taking-over-the-forum/6226.md?page=2)
