Colonoscopy Preparation Diet
A liquid diet must be followed one (1) day before the appointment. You can drink as much as you like: water, milk, ayran, soda, fruit juice, tea, coffee, yogurt, pudding, ice cream, linden tea, apricot compote juice, apple juice, cherry juice, or pineapple juice, up to two hours before the procedure. If you feel hungry, you can drink only the juice of meat or chicken (no chunks), with a squeeze of salt and lemon juice.
Use of Medicines
You will drink the first bottle of X-M diet solution (or one of the equivalent medications listed above) at 6:00 PM the day before your procedure, and the second bottle at 10:00 PM, each with at least 2 liters of water, and drink slowly over 1-1.5 hours. If you don’t like the taste of the medication, you can mix it with water or the fruit juices mentioned above. The more water you drink, the better the bowel cleansing will be.
Apply the enema called B.T enema 210 ml, as described in the prospectus, 2-2.5 hours before the procedure time on the day of the procedure.
Your colon will be examined through the anus using a flexible instrument called a colonoscope, which has a light and camera on its end. During the procedure, some air is injected into your colon. A sedative, sedative, and painkiller will be administered intravenously to prevent any pain that may occur. A biopsy may be performed for diagnostic purposes during the procedure. This is a painless procedure. If a polyp is detected in the colon, it will be removed if conditions permit.
While colonoscopy is generally a trouble-free procedure, as with any medical procedure, it carries some risks. Allergic reactions to medications, intestinal damage, bleeding, and heart and lung problems are very rare, but sometimes require emergency treatment or even surgery, and in very rare cases, can be life-threatening. Therefore, please read the following notes carefully.
Stop taking aspirin and aspirin-like blood thinners at least one week before the procedure, consulting your doctor. Be sure to accurately list and inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking. You may experience drowsiness after the procedure, so bring a companion with you. Avoid prolonged driving or operating machinery that requires alertness on the same day. If you experience any unusual symptoms, such as abdominal pain or rectal bleeding, immediately contact your doctor or emergency room.
If there are still points that are not understood despite the explanations above, please get information. Please sign the consent form explaining the risks before the procedure.
