? What is the time interval between colonoscopies?
Normal people physical examination, check the colonoscopy if it is normal, generally three to five years, do not need to review the colonoscopy. For colonoscopy found polyps, resection after pathological return is flow-limiting, general recommendations after polypectomy, a review in a year, found polyps timely treatment, if no polyps at the time of review, can be reviewed after three years, for multiple polyps, large polyps, or polyps cancer, it is recommended that half a year after the review.

The time to do colonoscopy is affected by many reasons, first of all, the patient's side of the reason, if the intestinal tract is more disorganized, the sigmoid colon is longer or the transverse colon is prolapsed, as well as the patient's abdomen has been done in the past surgery and intestinal adhesions, the general time to do the colonoscopy is relatively longer, most of them in 20 minutes or half an hour, and some of them may be in an hour to do. It can take up to an hour to complete.
If the patient's intestinal preparation is better, the intestinal alignment is smoother, usually 3-5 minutes can reach the ileocecal part, and then back out of the mirror to observe for about 6 minutes, about 10 minutes can be done enteroscopy. Secondly, the operator's side, if it is a beginner to do colonoscopy, usually need 40 minutes to 1 hour time; if there is an experienced operator to do colonoscopy, usually in about 10 minutes.
The time to do a colonoscopy correlates with the size of the patient and the skill level of the doctor, and most of them can be done in about 15 minutes.

For patients with better body type, not fat, not thin, not tall, not short, may be easier, the younger the patient to do the colonoscopy is the better their own function, the shorter the time to do the colonoscopy, the faster time may be 5 minutes to finish. If you meet a fat, large abdomen or very thin patients, may do more than 15 minutes or even 30 minutes.
Fasting is required on the day of the examination, and water intake is prohibited for 6 hours after the colonoscopy. After eating, a light, easily digestible liquid food is required, and a normal diet can be resumed gradually after 3 days.
Enteroscopy report is basically normal, we believe that this report can be managed for four to five years, but if the intestinal preparation of the case is not clean, he may be nearly 20% of the patients, there are colon polyps to the leakage, so we have to look at the same time in this case, the report written on the intestinal preparation of the case, if the case is very good, we can be managed for five years, the preparation of the case is not good, then it may not be able to manage five years. can't manage five years.

But if there is ulcerative colitis or colon polyps, we will need to follow the doctor's request for regular review, and the review time will definitely be less than five years.
