How will the Test Feel?
The passage of the tube and capsule often makes a person feel like gagging (topical anesthetic is used to minimize this sensation).
A mild sedative can be given, but only in small doses because the person must remain alert enough to assist with the procedure (by doing such things as swallowing and turning). The biopsy sampling causes little or no pain, although it may cause some mild cramping.
