In the end, hehe, it was a medical doctor who greenlit the procedure. Patients don't get to decide their own treatment trajectory, but they can certainly respond enthusiastically when the Certified Medical Doctor suggests it as a possible route.
And yes, I was bleeding heavily out my ass and had recurrent stomach and intestinal pain for months that went away and then came back the next year. Not as if I went in for a cut finger and demanded an anal probe for it.
Turns out I'm sporadically - not consistently - lactose intolerant. Russian Roulette. Makes me shit acid that tears up all my soft tissue causing bleeding and eventually clotting. FODMAP, or just lots of oatmeal until it clears up, is the way out again. The lactose sugar-based colon purge laxatives they give you to prep for the procedure work REALLY well on me.
