What is difference between colonoscopy and barium enema?
Just had a colonoscopy but now have to have barium enima because colonoscopy would not check everything. Had barium enema several yrs ago and was very simple (done in doctor’s office) doctor and nurse. Colonoscopy was done at hospital surgical wing. A bunch of nurses, etc. Much more involved. Same thing for wife a few yrs ago. As an added thoght Is this a scam for goughing insurance?
Clarifyy question: why do
a colonoscopy that may not answer problems and then do a barium enema. Why not do the barium enema first?
