I had the procedure done as a precautionary measure. No symptoms, just getting older. Be prepared to wait half a year to see your general practitioner for recommendation, insurance approval, availability to schedule then go in for the procedure as there is a shortage of specialists in the area. The procedure itself was taken care of in a very professional manner. Everybody I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. This was an embarrassing , but completely painless procedure that took less than an hour. Just do it!
