Most bowel cancers develop from polyps, and adenomatous polyps are recognized as precancerous lesions that can be removed by early colonoscopy and simply removed. Undergoing a colonoscopy at the appropriate age is recognized by the medical community as the "gold standard" for colorectal cancer prevention and screening!

What is the most feared colonoscopist? The inspector didn't pull it clean! First of all, the examination is not clear, it is easy to miss the diagnosis, and it may have to be redone; It is difficult to do, and the difficulty and time become longer; There is too much manure and pollution is everywhere;

What are the most feared patients of colonoscopy? The intestinal cleansing medicine is difficult to drink, the water can't be drunk, the legs are weak after drinking vomiting and diarrhea, and I am worried that it is not clean;

What should I do? Pay attention to the details of drinking medicine and deal with it easily!

1. At least 1 day in advance, dietary management:

You can eat: white porridge, noodles, bread and soy products and other low-fiber and low-residue foods; Not to eat: cereals, celery, kelp, black fungus, dragon fruit, kiwifruit, tomatoes and various melons.

2. Oral laxative time Some people say that I started drinking intestinal cleansing medicine a day in advance, and I will be the cleanest tomorrow without eating or drinking. Wrong! Even if you don't eat or drink, 8 liters of secretions are produced in the digestive tract every day, and the thick secretions can make the doctor unable to see clearly. The best time to drink the last sachet is 5 hours before the test and finish all the colon cleansing at least 2 hours before the test.

3. Oral laxative method Divided oral administration: drink some the night before and some the next morning. There is still a lot of water to drink, and it may be nauseous and uncomfortable, and it may be spit out all the water you drink. Don't panic, you can make up for it when you have time, you can remedy it with an enema if you don't have time, it's too late to do it another day;

4. Assisted defecation It is wrong to sit and lie down after drinking the potion, waiting for the instructions of the stomach and then running to the toilet, especially for those who are already constipated. Correct method: Walk around between drinking intestinal cleansing medicine for about 15 minutes each time. It can divert attention and make the excretion cleaner. But if your legs are already weak, do what you can. Walking in moderation can help "pull clean".

5. What is "pulling clean"? It is often said that I have pulled it many times, why haven't I pulled it clean? The number of times is not the standard for judging whether you pull it clean, whether it is clean or not, it depends on what you pull out. The pale yellow water is barely passable、Clear water is excellent。 If there is still slag or something, please tell the doctor as soon as possible, and you can get an enema to remedy it.

In order to be able to pull it clean and not do it in vain, drink the medicine as required, and don't forget: control your diet at least 1 day in advance, and don't eat casually; Complete oral laxatives 5 hours before, not too long in advance; If you drink and vomit, quickly find a way to remedy it; Walk around more when drinking medicine to help clean up; Clean water without slag is the real clean.
