Can I be sedated if I am nervous about anorectal manometry?
Sedation isn’t used during anorectal manometry because the test relies on your muscles working normally while you squeeze and relax. The procedure is quick, gentle, and usually causes only mild pressure or a feeling of fullness. Our caring team at Welbeck will explain each step beforehand, help you stay relaxed, and make sure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout the test.
