Not long ago, I found anemia in my physical examination, and my stool was positive for occult blood in the hematology clinic. The doctor suggested that I do gastroscopy and colonoscopy. I didn't pay attention to the doctor's advice at the first outpatient clinic, because I heard that gastrointestinal endoscopy is very painful. Just kidding, I can't do that examination casually. The second time I went to the hospital to prescribe medicine, I had a stool analysis, and it was still positive for occult blood. The doctor suggested me to have a gastrointestinal mirror again. I asked the doctor at that time, I didn't feel uncomfortable at ordinary times. Can I not do it?
doctor: you'd better have one, so as not to delay your illness.
I made up my mind, and when I went to the hospital to prescribe medicine again, I hung up the gastroenterology clinic by the way. My original intention was to have a gastroscope first, and then decide whether to have a colonoscopy after the results came out.
who would have thought that after I explained the cause of the disease, the doctor opened all the lists of gastrointestinal endoscopy in one go without saying a word, and even didn't ask my thoughts. I also asked a sentence quickly between the lists. Can it be painless?
the doctor said decisively: painless is too expensive, medical insurance is not reimbursed, and it is not worth it, just ordinary.
then, the list is finished. That's the good thing about public hospitals. They won't cheat you.
I have an appointment for gastroscopy on Tuesday and enteroscopy on Thursday. After going home, study the precautions carefully and talk about colonoscopy. Eat lightly and drink laxatives to clear the intestines before colonoscopy
I made an appointment to do it on Thursday afternoon, and I also looked up a lot of information on the Internet a few days in advance, and several points were particularly useful to me.
1. the day before the examination, the diet is light, and liquid food is the best.
2. You don't have to drink all the laxatives, just pull them clean according to your own situation.
3. Don't worry about having diarrhea on the way to the hospital. No, it won't stop after it's basically cleaned. It's still different from diarrhea.
4. You don't have to keep pursuing clear water, as long as it is yellow water without slag.
Because of the examination, I lost my appetite on Wednesday, so I ate lightly and didn't eat at night. I got up at seven o'clock on Thursday morning and began to drink electrolyte water. The list given by the doctor said that all electrolytes should be flushed with 3ml (I did so and made a big pot).
I tested it. The mug I usually drink is about 3ml, and I expect to drink 1 cups! I don't like drinking water at ordinary times, usually only two or three glasses of water a day. Now I have to drink 1 cups at once, and I will die if I don't feel sick (in fact, I think too much).
drink the first cup at seven o'clock. It tastes like pineapple water on the Internet. I think it's a bit like it. It's sweet and salty. It's a strange taste. Anyway, drink it in one gulp, or the more you taste it, the more disgusting it will be.
Drink slowly, drink the second cup after 15 minutes, and when you drink three or four cups, you will start to run to the toilet at around 8 o'clock. You won't have a stomachache, but you will feel like going to the toilet.
after that, I'll have a drink for half an hour, because I really can't drink any more. As long as I can run to the toilet, I won't drink first, and then I'll have a drink after I finish, and then I'll go to the toilet. So back and forth, when I drank the seventh cup, it was also 2ml, which was basically clear, so I stopped drinking. So you don't have to drink all of them.
as for the extent of pulling, there are contrast pictures on this website, so you can search for them yourself, that is, it is light yellow, very clear, with no residue, similar to urine, and not exactly the same as the clear water the doctor said.
clickable: when preparing for the examination before colonoscopy, it didn't hurt at the beginning.
I started at 1 pm, and I arrived on time at almost 1 pm. People have all taken the number, and I basically waited until 4 pm to do it last, so I'd better go to the big hospital for examination early.
when the doctor calls you, he will give you a disposable pair of pants that show your bottom. When you go in, change your pants and lie down on your side, with your back to the doctor and your legs curled up.
The doctor first rubs some medicine on you, which should be anesthetic, and then the tube goes in. At first, it doesn't hurt, that is, there is a foreign body sensation of something. Then, you are told to lie flat and tilt one leg. The doctor starts to walk inside, and you will have the feeling of holding something against you. When you meet the corner of the intestine, it will hurt, and you will subconsciously cry for pain. Then the doctor will stop, change the place or technique and ask you how to return it.
Later, I asked a doctor to hold my stomach and press it hard, but I didn't feel how painful the tube was inserted. When it was inserted into the head of the intestine, I began to retreat, taking pictures while retreating, and inflating it for you by the way, until I felt that my stomach was going to burst for a moment, and then began to deflate.
after that, you all quit and told me it was nothing. This process takes about 2 minutes.
I'm rather melodramatic. As soon as I went in and lay down, I covered my face with my hands. I didn't dare to look. Because I was too nervous, my tears fell as soon as I felt some pain. Later, when I met the corner of the intestine, I cried and shouted. The doctor said that I scared her to stop moving. Later, the doctor told me to relax and let me put my hand down. I took my hand away and didn't know where to put it. I clenched my fist. The doctor said to relax. Later, when the nurse pressed my stomach, I subconsciously grabbed her sleeve. Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it's nothing
I went to the toilet after checking on my pants. With so much gas in your intestines, your belly needs to be deflated. After squatting in the toilet for a long time, I heard that all the toilets were deflated, alas (covering my face).
Later, I took the results and left. I just felt bloated all the time, which is what I usually feel when my stomach is cold and I get air. It hurts a little, and I feel uncomfortable. I think I will be fine at night.
I think this colonoscopy is quite frustrating, from diarrhea to check-up, but it's not a big deal. Once you bite your teeth, you will pass, and you will feel terrible if you haven't experienced it, and you will feel nothing if you have experienced it. As long as there is nothing wrong, everything is fine, so it is better to check it, so don't delay the illness.
In China, many people have gastrointestinal discomfort. They may know that there is something wrong with their intestines, but they have been reluctant to have an examination because they heard that "colonoscopy is particularly uncomfortable".
In the United States, colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent cancers and the second cancer killer. In China, with the improvement of living standards, the incidence of colorectal cancer has also caught up.
9% of colorectal cancer is found in people over 5 years old, and the incidence rate of young people has increased in recent years. Although there is more than one screening method, colonoscopy is the most direct and effective way to prevent early cancer or precancerous lesions, which is very necessary.
