First colonoscopy

It is said that the age of 50 or so is the period of high incidence of cancer, and I have always been constipated for the last six months, so I have been thinking of having a colonoscopy. I've never had a colonoscopy before, and I wanted to see if there were any polyps or other foreign objects in my intestines.

But I'm a little worried about the pain and the damage to the intestines. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it.

On June 7, I finally made up my mind to go to the doctor. On the bus, I bumped into an old colleague from the past, who I heard had stomach cancer last year, and I asked her if she was feeling better.

She said, "I'm glad I found it early." She had her stomach removed. "She had part of her stomach removed, and now she can only eat thin rice and noodles every day. Luckily his son is very competitive and has been admitted to a military school and is about to graduate.

The gastroenterologist helped me with the order for a colonoscopy, which informed me of all the risks involved, but I signed it decisively. The cost was about six hundred dollars or so, and I received three large boxes of Sutent, or laxatives, and then I went to make an appointment for the colonoscopy, which was scheduled for the afternoon of June 17th due to the large number of people.

The nurse explained that the day before the examination, you can only eat noodles and thin rice, not watermelon and other colored food, and gave me an oversized paper cup.

The appointment time is approaching day by day, and I can't help but feel a little nervous. I videoed with my mom and asked her if it hurt to do the colonoscopy.

On June 16th, I ate pasta for breakfast and dinner, and two loaves of bread for lunch. 17th, at 6am, I started to take Sutera, and in one and a half hours, I had to take three big cups of 750 ml of Sutera mixed with water.

The laxative was not good, the first cup was fine to deal with and I went for a poop after drinking it. The second cup made the task difficult and I barely finished it and went to poop again.

The taste of the laxative was slightly bitter, and I even thought of the various kinds of torture that the martyrs of ge were subjected to in prison. There was nothing I could do about it, so I drank the third cup slowly and stiffly.

I was secretly glad that I had finally accomplished my mission. It's a good thing I did, and by 2:00 PM, I had probably pooped more than ten times, and my stomach was all empty.

Before two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the seventh floor of the hospital enteroscopy department, I did not expect a lot of people to come earlier than me, I realized that before doing a colonoscopy first enema.

Waiting for a long time, my name was finally called, and I wasn't nervous at all, I just wanted to get it over with. The enema was quick, and it only took a few minutes to complete. The person behind me in line asked me: "Auntie, does the enema hurt? "I said, "It doesn't hurt at all, no kidding. "

While waiting, I saw a yellow-faced woman who was hospitalized because of enteritis, her face was bloodless and she looked like a patient. Her husband was strong-looking, and the couple was a stark contrast.

There were so many people doing colonoscopies today, about dozens of people, and I thought to myself, "So many people, can you do it all in one afternoon? I found out later that this worry was unnecessary, there are several colonoscopy rooms operating at the same time!

I was placed in room 706, there were two people in front of me and it was my turn. There were two doctors in the room, the younger female operating the computer.

The middle-aged male doctor operated it himself, and in the hospital there was no need to distinguish between men and women, there was nothing to be embarrassed about in front of the doctor. I lay directly on it, exposing my buttocks, my body curled up like a shrimp.

The doctor said to relax and put the tube in, the feeling is okay, can bear. The screen was right above and I could see the inside of my bowel clearly for myself.

When I got to the point where my bowel was about to turn, the doctor warned me and said, "It's going to turn, and it's going to be a little uncomfortable. "I was prepared for this, and took deep breaths and didn't hold my breath, as I had been told online.

The turn did feel a little bloated and you could still feel the foreign body rolling around in your intestines, but for us women who have given birth, it was a piece of cake, probably a total of **** two or three turns.

Soon it was at the top and I could feel the tube inserted into my bowel going back, it was a little easier going back but sometimes it hurt a little so I was afraid to talk.

The back of each room was connected, and I heard the girl in the next room 705 screaming, and after a few screams, the doctor gave up and heard the doctor say for her to have a painless one instead.

Everyone's tolerance for pain is different, maybe she was too sensitive. Contrary to her, my side went very well. I could see that my bowel was smooth and there was no foreign body. Near the end I asked the doctor if there were any polyps in my intestines and he said no.

I looked at the clock on the wall in my room, it started at 03:45 minutes and was over in less than a quarter of an hour at 4:00, that's pretty fast.

After coming out, I first hurried to the bathroom. My husband has been outside to help me carry the bag, a day without food, do not feel hungry, but I'd better eat a bun while waiting for the results of the examination.

Who knows a bun has not finished eating, I feel uncomfortable, and hurriedly spit out the mouth did not swallow the bun, and drank two mouthfuls of water.

Probably because the intestines have not yet adjusted, bloated and uncomfortable, there have been such symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders in the past, I quietly sat in the chair to rest.

The hospitalized woman from earlier was also sitting next to me, and she simply slumped right into the chair, presumably uncomfortable as well.

After a few minutes, I slowly eased up with some sweating and went to the bathroom again, and the hospitalized woman hobbled in.

The results of the examination soon came out, it reads: intestinal cleanliness is fair, the patient is in the lying position, the lumen into the mirror smoothly against the back of the blind part, the back of the blind part and the mouth of Lanoue is normal. Repeatedly in and out of the mirror observation, the whole colon intestinal lumen without stenosis, spasm, mucosal congestion, no ulceration, vesicles, no swelling. The surface of the rectal anal canal was congested and edematous, without ulceration or bleeding. CONCLUSION: Rectal anal canal inflammation.

The results of the examination looked good, I was still not assured, and went back to the gastroenterology department on the second floor and asked the doctor to take another look. The doctor said: "Congratulations, nothing is wrong, no need to take medicine, you are constipated, drink more water.

Finally, I'm relieved that my stomach is still a bit uncomfortable and I don't want to walk more, so I'll just take a cab and go home.

It was five o'clock when I got home. I leaned back on the sofa and rested, and there was still some gas in my stomach, so I felt more comfortable when I slowly got rid of it. I was glad that I had finally passed the test, and that the colonoscopy was an important thing for me to do.

When my husband made dinner, I ate it and went for a walk as usual. There is a school next to the house and a flat, wide road, which is a good place to walk.

On the way, I ran into an old colleague, Wang Hua, who is not very tall but has a very athletic body. I told her I had a colonoscopy today, and she said, "I go to the playground every morning to play badminton, and square dance at night, so I don't have to worry about these things after I've worked out my body. "

Yeah, regular exercise is the best way to stay away from diseases!
