I have a colonoscopy for ulcerative colitis once a year, so I’m a veteran more than 15 times already (^_^)
It may be a little different depending on the hospital, but here I will talk about the flow of endoscopy of the large intestine.
The day before the inspection
Eat something that is easy to digest.
Recently, I often get a retort pouch test meal.
By the way, the inspection food is the actual cost.
And at 10 and 14 o’clock, drink more than a glass of water.
At 17:00, we will have an early dinner.
Take a laxative before going to bed.
On the day of inspection
Wake up at 6 o’clock and take a laxative dissolved in 2 (1.8) liters of water for 1-2 hours.
This is quite painful.
I used to prepare PET bottles, but now it’s convenient because the laxative container is now a container.
Set a goal, such as “drink a glass in 5 minutes,” and do your best to drink it.
I wanted to go to the bathroom while I was drinking, and eventually, I got a watery stool.
Then, I head to the hospital while worrying about the toilet.
When you arrive at the hospital, change into an examination gown, drip infusion, and the examination will begin.
You have brought up a very excellent points, thankyou for the post.
