If you don’t poop when you drink electrolyte water before a colonoscopy, you can go to the hospital and increase the amount of laxative you take for bowel cleansing according to your doctor’s instructions.
Electrolyte water generally refers to compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte bulk, which is a commonly used laxative for bowel cleansing in colonoscopy. If there is no bowel movement after taking it, it may be due to the fact that the intestinal peristalsis function itself is relatively poor, there is constipation, or the patient himself suffers from intestinal stenosis and other diseases, resulting in feces can not be discharged.
The solution is to increase the dosage of laxatives under the guidance of the doctor, such as increasing the concentration, taking a certain dose of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte bulk, or taking with other laxatives, such as lactulose.
In the case of intestinal obstruction or intestinal stenosis patients, need to be in the hospital for warm saline enema laxative, as far as possible to clean the intestinal contents.
In addition, it is recommended to take laxatives and then increase exercise to stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and assist in defecation.
