Enteroscopy gastroscopy is done together, drinking laxatives usually does not affect the gastroscopy and can be done at the same time.
Gastroscopy requires fasting and needs to be observed in the natural state of the gastric mucosa. In addition to observing whether the external form of the mucosa is flat or not, it is also necessary to observe the color of the mucosa, such as the presence of local whitening, local redness, etc., which are all indicators of diagnostic observation. Therefore, the stomach should be placed in a natural fasting state as much as possible before the gastroscopy.
Before doing colonoscopy usually need to routinely drink laxatives, laxatives usually have no effect on the stomach, and the effect on the body is not too big, usually need to routinely take polyethylene glycol, lactulose, etc., there will be an increase in the number of bowel movements. After the stool becomes water completely, you can do colonoscopy normally.
In general, gastroscopy colonoscopy can be done together when the patient’s physical condition is normal.
