What parts does colonoscopy include?

Colonoscopy is a common examination item at present. Its main function is to timely detect cancer, intestinal mucosal lesions and the presence of tumors. It is also a relatively safe and effective examination item. It can prevent some invasive diseases and relieve the patient's pain. Although there is a certain discomfort during the examination, this uncomfortable feeling will disappear quickly. Which part does colonoscopy generally examine?

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is currently the simplest, safest and most effective method for detecting intestinal tumors and precancerous lesions. However, endoscopy is an invasive examination method after all, which causes certain discomfort and complications. Therefore, many people are afraid of this examination, which causes some colorectal lesions and even tumors to not be diagnosed early, thus delaying the best time for treatment. In recent years, with the advancement of anesthetic drugs and medical monitoring technology, painless colonoscopy has emerged.

Its essence is to inject an anesthetic drug intravenously before the examination, which has a fast onset, short effective time and definite effect, so that the patient can fall asleep within a few seconds and wake up early after completing all examinations. There will be no discomfort or pain during the examination, so it is becoming more and more popular among patients. However, colonoscopy also has its shortcomings, such as anesthesia accidents, sometimes a long anesthesia recovery process, and high costs.

Precautions

Intestinal cleanliness is one of the key factors in the success or failure of colonoscopy. If there is still a lot of feces in the intestines during the examination, it will affect the insertion of the endoscope and observation, and may even make it impossible to complete the full colon examination. Therefore, it is very important to clean and prepare the intestines before examination. Oral diarrhea medicine is one of the most commonly used, most reliable and safest methods in clinical practice. Since the vast majority of outpatients perform bowel preparation at home, how to perform safe and effective bowel preparation at home is an issue of great concern to patients and their families.
