I got mine done three years back at 36 (I've had gastric issues, and my mom has colorectal cancer) - didn't use sedatives or anesthesia. Pain tolerance is relative, so my own experience wouldn't carry over.
I can understand if some people want sedatives, but anesthesia is pretty high risk like you were saying.
- voxl 6y agoSo much "high risk" in this thread, yet its used all over the place in United States and not a single shred of evidence to be found anywhere here...
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI did some googling; here's some studies on death rate due to anasthesia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697561/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697561/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3147285/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3147285/ ; the latter does highlight that the incident rate has dropped a lot since the 1940's. Another one on "anesthetic awareness", or waking up during the procedure / recalling things without being able to respond, which happens 1-2 times out of 1000: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900098 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900098 "Not a single shred of evidence to be found" -> "I didn't actually look but like telling people they're wrong lol"
- voxl 6y agoIts not my responsibility to look for evidence if you're making the claim. If you want to come into a thread telling people that are already apprehensive about a procedure "please don't do X its dangerous!" when an _actual_ first google will give you a Mayo Clinic saying its perfectly fine, then you need to provide some fucking evidence. Your evidence is unconvincing, but good job being condescending.
