How to do a colonoscopy

For some people with intestinal damage, a colonoscopy is generally required during the treatment of the disease, because the common examination can more clearly see the injuries in the patient's body, but the process of colonoscopy is relatively painful, because many people are afraid of colonoscopy, and after the examination, the intestines will be damaged. So how is colonoscopy done?

Many people are afraid of colonoscopy. In fact, although colonoscopy is uncomfortable, it is not painful and only requires three steps.

1 First of all, you should take laxatives the day before the colonoscopy. The purpose is to clean the intestines so that the doctor will not get poop on his hands when he is examining you. You must follow the doctor's instructions on the amount of medicine to take, because if the intestines are not clean, the doctor cannot perform a colon examination.

2 Enter the examination room for examination, take off your pants according to the doctor's instructions, don't feel embarrassed, then lie on your side on the examination bed, and the doctor will insert a tube with a lens into your anus, and continue to push it inward after insertion. During the pushing process, the doctor may add air to expand the intestine, which will cause you to feel a strong feeling of bloating in the stomach.

3 During the insertion process, the doctor will observe and ask if you feel any discomfort. He will constantly press your abdomen to check the degree of stomach expansion. If you feel that your stomach is really uncomfortable, you can ask the doctor to pause. When the colonoscope enters the part the doctor wants to examine, the doctor can check it through the instrument on the side.

In short, there is no other pain except the discomfort of bloating during colonoscopy.
