Lately i am hearing of more and more people around my age visiting the doctor for a colonoscopy . An examination feared by men because of a false believe it will somehow the examination will take away their manhood , well even if that was by some twisted way true will the ones believe it trade their lives???
I had urged @trumpman to make an appointment with a doctor because as you all know he is an alcoholic and he hangs out at local tsipouradika where you can eat 4 plates and drink 250 ml of tsipouro and pay 5$.
But What is a Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a test to check inside your bowels. This test can help find what's causing your bowel symptoms if you have . A long, thin, flexible tube with a small camera inside it is passed into your bottom.
Why to we take a Colonoscopy?
The main reason is the prevention or early diagnosis of colon cancer. The examination not only enables an accurate diagnosis and its confirmation by taking biopsies, but with this endoscopic method asymptomatic precancerous polyps are removed on the spot.
How to prepare
The doctor is giving some instruction that someone should follow 2-3 days before the exam. A special diet must be followed ,the diet consists with meat or fish, chicken, boiled egg, potatoes, broths (but without vegetable fiber), jelly, compote, chamomile, rice, spaghetti and white bread
Day of the Exam
When you arrive at the doctors office you have to drink a lexative in order to clean the intestine and give the endoscope the best possible picture. After that a mild sedative will be given to you and you will feel like being drunk.
Is colonoscopy that important
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 68% of colorectal cancer (CRC) deaths could be prevented with increased screening, and one of the most effective ways to get screened is a colonoscopy.
So guys just get an appointment its better to have an exam than a treatment.
