LazyDaisy Jul 2022 2:11pm, 2 Jul 2022 36,233 posts	0 LazyDaisy I've had a sigmoidoscopy which is a mini-colonoscopy I think - like everyone else's experience, the enema was far worse than the procedure itself. Mine was to investigate what was then diagnosed as 'jogger's colon' - blood in the poo after a long run - which I'm pleased to say resolved itself. But certainly worth getting checked out to put my mind at rest.
