Unless they mess it up, there are none.

---

the operator could probe too hard and rupture intestines.

the operator could pass an infection if the parts are not cleaned well.

---

Other than the discomfort preparing for the test, I did not have any side effects. Once it is over you can eat and you are back to normal routine in a couple of hours.

---

The drugs they use to make you unconscious can make you have black outs (periods that you can't remember) for a while. There may also be some rectal pain afterwards. You should have someone accompany you and drive you home afterwards.

---

Rarely, some people experience severe abdominal pain, fever, bloody bowel movements, dizziness, or weakness afterward.

---

I don't know that there are any. My significant other had one a year ago and other than having to drink what he described as the most disgusting thing he had to ingest, he never complained of any side effects, and I'd have heard, believe me.

---

gas, you will have some after, and a sticky butt from the lube.
Otherwise there should be none, they will advise you of the possibility of puncture during porceedure, but its a minimal risk and it is probably very un likely. The worst thing is drinking the colyte the night before. You should be pretty much sedated and not feel a thing

---

Gas, embarrassment, on a whole if there's a tear they can fix it, if there's a polyp they can remove it. And although they say you will be awake most people don't remember being awake .

---

mental relief that everythings going ok in there and
you won't have to have it done again for awhile.
