Icky stuff isn't it...

Bring a videotape and ask if they have a recorder attached to the camera. Sometimes they do and will tape the procedure for you. Kinda interesting actually.

I recently had an internal bladder exam, they numbed me up (I was still quite awake) inserted a catheter, pumped me full of saline (that was the worst part, having a full bladder and not being able to go hurts) then in went the camera... It was cool to be able to watch it on the same screen that the doctor was watching it on and have him explain the procedure and what I was looking at.

Good Luck, I hope they don't find anything *interesting*.
