What is a colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy is a study in which a special mirror is introduced into the patient’s body through the anus. With the help of a colonoscope, the doctor can carefully examine the colon. There is a special camera on the mirror that transfers the image of the inside of the digestive system. The purpose of this study is to assess the surface of the walls of the colon. When is a colonoscopy and how to prepare for it?
A gastroenterologist most often prescribes colonoscopy, but there can be many reasons for examination. The most common are blood in the chair and diagnosis associated with the early detection of colorectal cancer. The preparation of colonoscopy directly depends on the recommendations of the gastroenterologist. The most common of them include: a week before the examination, you should change your diet to one that will allow you to correctly diagnose the colon. It is necessary to stop taking drugs rich in iron, limit the consumption of cereals and products that can paint the intestinal mucosa (for example, beets). At 48 hours, you should go to a liquid or semi -liquid diet that will allow the digestive system. For this purpose, food based on easily digestible dishes in the form of soups and yogurts is recommended. You should also stop the use of carbonated drinks and replace them with a large amount of still water. For 24 hours before the study, the patient begins to take the recommended laxative. You must take a vacation on this day and be in a place with easy access to the toilet. Since together with feces we will lose a large amount of water, it should be regularly replenished by drinking still water. What to pay attention to after colonoscopy?
During the study, a large amount of air enters the colon along with the mirror. The consequence of this is a persistent gas that cannot be restrained, as this will lead to increased abbreviations and a feeling of swelling of the abdomen. If you have introduced anesthesia during colonoscopy, follow the doctor’s instructions. Most often, they relate to the ban on driving vehicles.
