Metro Medical Colonoscopy Package with Upper Abdominal Ultrasound - By G.I. Specialist

Metro Medical Colonoscopy Package with Upper Abdominal Ultrasound - By G.I. Specialist

Colonoscopy is an endoscopic examination of the inside of your lower digestive tract, including the large intestine, and sometimes a portion of the terminal ileum (part of the small intestine). The large intestine examined includes the rectum, sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, and cecum.

Colonoscopy is often used in patients presented with rectal bleeding, occult blood in the stool, recent change in bowel habit, chronic diarrhoea, chronic constipation, unexplained weight loss or fatigue, or in those suspected of colorectal cancer. Colonoscopy is also used to look for conditions such as Crohn's disease, diverticular disease, and ulcerative colitis.

How Should I Prepare for the Colonoscopy Examination?

Your bowel must be properly prepared and cleaned out before the colonoscopy for an accurate examination.

You need to start on a low-residue diet 3 days before the examination, and on clear liquids 6 hours before the final bowel preparation. Sips of water may be taken up to 2 hours before the examination. Iron supplements should be stopped at least 3-4 days before the examination.

You will be given laxatives (bowel cleansing agents) to prepare the bowel before the examination. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure thorough emptying of the bowel. Residual faecal matter may obscure viewing of the intestinal wall and lower the diagnostic value of the examination. After taking the laxatives, your bowel preparation is complete and satisfactory when your bowel movement becomes only clear fluid and free of any solid matter.

If you are taking any medications, your nurse will give you specific instructions on whether or not to continue with them. Please let us know of your current medications, especially anti-platelet or anti-coagulation drugs (blood thinners). You should also inform us of any major medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, pregnancy, and any allergic history.

Dentures, eye glasses, and metallic objects will need to be removed before the examination. Please avoid bringing any valuable jewellery with you. You should also avoid heavy drinking, smoking, or the use of sedatives before the examination.
