Good afternoon. We'll need to proceed with your examination. For that, I'm going to ask you to remove your pants and underwear, please.
So that I can visually inspect your lower abdomen and perform a rectal examination, which is necessary for your diagnosis.
How am I going to do that without my pants and underwear?
You don't need your pants and underwear on for me to perform the examination. I will provide you with a gown to wear.
Umm okay. Can I keep my shirt on?
Absolutely, you can keep your shirt on. Just remove your pants and underwear, and I'll take care of the rest.
Great. I'll be right back with the gown. Please make yourself comfortable.
Yes, Chirizo? What is it?
Do I need to get undressed in front of you?
I understand your discomfort, Chirizo. If it makes you feel more at ease, you can step into the examination room and undress there.
Y-yeah I will do that....
That sounds like a good plan, Chirizo. Just give me a shout if you need anything, alright? I'll be waiting outside the examination room.
Excellent. Take your time, Chirizo. I won't rush you. When you're ready, just let me know.
Wonderful, Chirizo. Thank you for your cooperation. Now, please lie back and relax as much as you can.
What exactly are you doing, sir?
I'm going to perform a rectal examination, Chirizo. It's a routine procedure to check for any abnormalities or signs of illness in the lower intestines.
It might be a bit uncomfortable, but try to relax. I'll be gentle, Chirizo. Just take deep breaths and try to stay focused.
Next, I'm going to insert a gloved finger into your anus to feel for any abnormalities or tenderness.
Are you feeling any discomfort, Chirizo?
A little bit but I'll manage.
I appreciate your courage, Chirizo. The examination may cause some temporary discomfort, but it's necessary for your well-being.
As I continue the examination, I'm noticing some abnormalities in your lower intestines, Chirizo.
Abnormalities? Like what, sir?
Chirizo, I believe there might be a growth or tumor developing in your lower intestines.
A growth or tumor? Is it serious?
It could be serious, Chirizo. But we won't know for sure until we conduct further tests.
Chirizo, I recommend that we schedule you for a colonoscopy to get a better look at the growth or tumor in your lower intestines.
...A colonoscopy? Is that a major surgery, sir?
No, Chirizo, a colonoscopy is not a major surgery. It's a minimally invasive procedure where a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through your rectum to visualize the inside of your colon. It's usually done under sedation to ensure your comfort.
Minimally invasive, huh? That sounds less painful than I imagined. Alright, sir, book the appointment.
Thank you for your cooperation, Chirizo. I will promptly schedule your colonoscopy and inform you of the date and time.
Thank you, sir. I trust your judgment.
You're welcome, Chirizo. I appreciate your trust. If you have any questions or concerns before the procedure, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Alright, sir. I'll be in touch if I need any additional information.
That's perfectly fine, Chirizo. Just remember to follow any pre-surgery instructions I give you closely to ensure a smooth and safe procedure.
