Why need a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is carried out using a modern device - a special probe. Thanks to the flexible fiber-optic instrument, an endoscopist has the opportunity to inspect and evaluate the condition of the inner, fairly extended surface of the large intestine. To carry out such an inspection and get the image required for diagnostics, light needed. It penetrates through optical fiber. This procedure allows you to identify such pathology of the large intestine, as colitis (ulcerative or ordinary), Diverticulus, Crohn's disease, Polyps, tumors of colon. The doctor may even get a small piece of fabrics for further research and study under the microscope. Even colon cancer can be revealed using colonoscopy. If the polyps are removed, then after the removal of these formations they are examined and watching, they are predicted or not?
How to prepare for the survey?
At the time of the execution of colonoscopy, the thick intestine should be clean (without residual foods or any impurities of another kind). So that the doctor gets more information about the status of your colon, try to carefully prepare for the examination.
Now we need to do clean the intestines - with ephtles or forttrans. Where you were recorded on a colonoscopy, check with a doctor, how exactly you will need to clean your intestine on the eve of the survey.
Fashion first. It will take a mug of esmark, which contains a half liter of water. At about 16 o'clock it is recommended to take 30-40 ml Castor Oil (quantity depends on body weight). The enema (or two) volume of one and a half liters (water is taken room temperature) must be done at 20 o'clock. Two more enemas are desirable to make the next day (hours in 7-8). When put the enema, then lying on the left side. Fold your belly around the perimeter, direction of movement counterclockwise. Then water will be better spilled in the thick intestine. Soon they will appear for defecation. Try to suffer at least one or two minutes.
Method of the second. For such a cleaning in advance, visit Fordrans in the pharmacy. In the package you will see four packets containing powder. Each package will need to dissolve in a liter of water. Water is preferably taking cool. The reception of such a solution must be started on the eve of the date of the survey, approximately 16-17 hours. Complete the use of forttrans by 22 o'clock. After the last reception, food must pass two hours. So, you divorced powder in a liter of water - now drink it in small sips. If you weigh 60 kg, then you will need 3 Ford Package, that is, it will be necessary to drink three liters. If your weight is 80 kg, then breed, and then, respectively, drink - four bags (4 liters). With first liter, many copier. But the second liter can cause unpleasant sensations - the liquid has to push themselves. The third (and subsequent) liters can cause nausea. This is mainly due to the large volume of fluid. To avoid unpleasant sensations and urges on vomiting, take advantage of lemon slices. You can simply hang out the cut slice of the lemon after each glat of the Fortrans solution. Hitting the receptors of the language, the droplets of the sour juice will be pacified nausea. Even if you suffer Gastritis, then these few drops do not harm the stomach, because they will be strongly diluted with liquid. Another advice: to avoid nausea, some patients drink this solution chilled.
Another forttrans solution can be diluted with any sour juice, such as orange.
Attention! If you accept Fordrans, I do not do cleansing enemas. The concentration of the drug in the fluid that the intestines is washed, must be high, otherwise it will not be able to fully clean the intestine.
Technique for holding
Most often, the colonoscopy is carried out without anesthesia. If in the area of the rear pass in the patient, severe pain, then local anesthesia is made. Now in a number of clinics practice short-term intravenous anesthesia, after which the patient falls asleep. General anesthesia make children if their age up to ten years, or patients having massive adhesions in the abdominal cavity, as well as destruction.

Then the endoscopist slowly introduces a colonoscope into anal hole. If necessary, the patient will be asked to lie on the back, then return to the left side. The intestine is filled with gases (so that it stretches), the clarification arises for defecation (false). After the examination part of the air, the doctor pulls out using the endoscope.
