No medication is necessary during the procedure. If the doctor sees something abnormal, sometimes he or she will preform a biopsy, taking a piece of tissue to be studied under a microscope. This helps in the diagnosis of most conditions. If a biopsy is taken, the patient experiences no pain since the colon and rectum do not have nerves which are sensitive to pain. After the procedure, there are no restrictions on driving, diet or activity.
Most people return to normal activities the minute they leave the office.
