Everything You Need To Know About a Colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is performed for a variety of reasons. There could be an infection in the intestines, or there could be blood spotted in the stool. The procedure can determine if there are any polyps or other concerns in the body. There are some things to do in order to prepare for the procedure. The scope used is four feet in length, but the entire scope is usually not inserted. After the scope is introduced through the anus, it is slowly moved through the rectum and the colon. In order for the procedure to give clear results, the colon needs to be cleaned. The day before the procedure, you will be given a drink to consume. This drink will act as a strong laxative in order to clean out the colon. You should also try to maintain a clear liquid diet for a few days before the procedure.The procedure of a colonoscopy is often not painful as you are either heavily sedated or fully asleep. It is an outpatient procedure in most cases unless you are already in the hospital. If something is found during the procedure, then the doctor might decide to admit you to the hospital for further tests. Intravenous fluids are started before the colonoscopy begins. You will be placed on a heart monitor to examine heart rhythms and other vital signs. The sedative will be given through the IV. More medication can be given during the procedure to make you comfortable. The procedure is generally completed while you lay on your left side. When the tip of the scope reaches the colon, it is slowly withdrawn so that the doctor can examine the colon carefully. The procedure takes about 20 minutes to an hour depending on what the doctor is looking for and what is found. If areas of the colon can't be seen, then the doctor might order an X-ray or reschedule the procedure.
