Instructions are given for how to prepare for the procedure. This includes what to tell your doctor before the procedure, how to drink the bowel preparation solution and what happens before and during the procedure. A video clip from a colonoscopy exam is shown.
Do NOT cancel your appointment or delay in any manner. IF by chance you have a cancer, it needs to be dealt with immediately. This Colon procedure is minor compared to not having it and letting the cancer kill you. Yes, it can be a bit uncomfortable, but not nearly as bad as you're thinking. This procedure might even save you from surgery if the cancer is caught fast enough. Remember, you're not in this alone. Your family wants to keep you around for a while longer.
I will be undergoing this procedure this nov. I am very nervous and thinking of cancelling my app. But I must do this for my health. Thank you so much for the info.
You docs can go ahead and use the lexicon - the ilium and ileo cecal valve which dumps into the cecum and the ascending colon, thus coating and obscuring the view of the colonoscope at its farthest reach. All these terms are found on Wikipedia. I'm just an average citizen who studies her body parts as they are affected by medicine. I learned the lexicon because it's part of critical thinking and self knowledge.
