Hi, Andrew. We are unable to provide medical advice via social media. At this time, our best recommendation for you is to contact your primary care physician. Thank you!

Hi Chris, would you mind sharing what issues your having? I'm getting ready to have this procedure. And you should ask your primary care Dr to refer you to a gastrologist or Google local urologist that may be experienced with this.
