Enteroscopy is one of the commonly used methods to diagnose intestinal diseases, and is one of the most specific and commonly used means to diagnose lower gastrointestinal diseases, and is widely used for screening and follow-up of precancerous lesions and tumors in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Colonoscopy has a high prevalence, is economical, safe, has a high success rate, and has no risks associated with anesthesia.
You need to drink electrolyte water before colonoscopy, mainly to promote the excretion of stool, and to be able to clearly observe the changes in the intestinal mucosa when doing colonoscopy. Generally, excretion will start about 1 hour after drinking electrolyte water, during which time you should drink more water and walk around more to empty the bowel, so as to prepare the bowel for the colonoscopy.
During the process of defecation, the nature and color of the stool should be observed. If the stool is pale yellow, watery stool without slag, this indicates that the bowel is better prepared. If the bowel preparation is not adequate, it will affect the results of colonoscopy, so it is important to do a good job of bowel preparation before colonoscopy.
