Should My Mother Undergo Colonoscopy?

Question

My mother has been experiencing abdominal pain for quite some time. Despite using various medications there was no relief.Later, she was diagnosed with Grade 1 hemorrhoids and on the same day the gastroenterologist recommended a colonoscopy.She has been taking hemorrhoid medication for almost a month now and she feels that the pain is not abdominal but rather in the anal or rectal area.Should I proceed with her colonoscopy or not?

Better to share labs and patients proper history
if you are satisfied with Dr then go ahead for Endoscopy otherwise take a second opinion
Hemorrhoids rarely cause pain they just cause bleeding or discomfort
