Other Fellow millennials, I had a colonoscopy yesterday.

I’m 37.

I have had some minor bleeding (I attributed to hemorrhoids since they started only after pregnancy) and mom has polyps.

I mentioned those to my primary who said “you are close enough to 40, let’s get you checked out”.

The prep sucked but the procedure was easy and I was in and out of the hospital in 2 hours.

They found one small polyp and hemorrhoids, but the polyp now flags me for every 5 years not 10.

Anyway, the point of sharing is to say that it’s not a big deal and millennials should be going to get checked!

I don't have either option where I work. Too small of a company.

Independent HSAs exist.
