Colonoscopy?




I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow and have been preparing all day. I have had 3 oz. of phospho-soda and 2 laxatives. Now I think I have developed a hemmoroid. Is this common and how does it go away. Will it affect the colonoscopy? I will discuss it with my doctor tomorrow but in the meantime wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

Colonoscopy?




I have to have a colonoscopy in a week. My doctor said to purchase a bowel cleanser from my local drugstore. Can anyone recommend a good colon cleanser that will empty my bowels? What have you taken prior to having a colonoscopy?

I did the steroids a few years ago but my new gastroenterologist is not a fan of steroids so he put me on 6-mercaptopurine. Since I did not have a flare up for almost 3 years, we stopped the dose but now I feel a flare up coming on and 6-MP takes about 3 months to start kicking in.

What is the best medication to stop the UC and make it go back into remission.

If I go to the Dr, he will just immediately order a colonoscopy. So before I do that, I want to hear what some of you think.

Steroids are horrible. They make your face get huge, they make you hungry, and they make you fat. Also I guess they do something to your bones.

I want to avoid steroids at all costs.

Anyone ever had a colonoscopy done? I am having it done next week and was wondering what to expect. Do I need to take the day off before the procedure due to running to the bathroom all day?

How much would a colonoscopy cost if you don’ have any health insurance? I need one but we can’t afford it. My husband’s job offers insurance but it cost 5 a month and there is no way we could afford it. I hear those things are expensive, even for people with insurance but they are very useful. Thank you

Im 25, my obgyn wants me to have a colonoscopy?




I am just wondering why. I have left a message for the doc to call me but just want some feedback from others. My mother had ovarian cancer at my age, maybe my doc is just being cautious? I don’t know why a colonoscopy would have anything to do with my female parts though….?
I had an internal and external sonogram at my obgyn’s office – they said everything looked fine.

I have been struggling with abdominal pain, constipation, bood in stool and diharrea. I had a colonoscopy done which found multiple target lesions in the colon. What disease can cause this?

My surgeon today told me that he can take care of both the colonoscopy and the hernia surgery the same day one after the other? Is this a safe process to have both done at basically the same time?

I think i have colitis (not ulcerative colitis though) because i have all the symptoms of it. My doctors have been diognosing me with Ibs but i think it is colitis because the symptoms seem more like what im getting. Is a colonoscopy the only way to determine i have colitis?

Thanks
