Description

Why is the rectum and colon examined?

Colonoscopy is an examination of the rectum and colon. The doctor can then see the entire colon and identify various diseases, including colon and rectal cancer.

Preparations

In order to get a good result from the examination, one needs to prepare by laxative the bowel. It is important that the intestine is clean so that the doctor can examine the intestinal mucosa. You receive an electronic prescription for laxatives that you pick up at the pharmacy. This must be used according to the prescription on the back of the package. You should also think about your diet 3 days before the examination. This means that you should avoid fruits and vegetables with a lot of fiber and seeds.

How does it happen?

During the examination, a tube-shaped instrument is passed up into the large intestine. The instrument is connected to a video monitor and the doctor examines the intestine via the monitor. If there are polyps, they are removed during the examination itself. Sometimes it is necessary to take samples, so-called biopsies, from the intestine and these are analyzed in a laboratory. The samples are saved for care and also for research purposes, if you do not agree to this, it is important that you let us know. The examination takes between 30-50 minutes and is performed by Scandinavian Gastro Clinic's experienced specialist doctors.

 

Survey results

As a patient, you will receive an answer immediately after the examination is completed. Note, however, that the results from a possible biopsy take between 4-6 weeks and are always sent to the referring doctor.

Do I really need to know?

Early detection proves to be the best treatment.

Avoiding serious diseases is to detect them in time, which gives the greatest chance of treatment and recovery, serious diseases usually take several years to develop and sometimes without any symptoms until it is too late. The statistics show that if a tumor is detected early, you have at least a 90 % chance of survival.

If you wait to examine your body and discover a tumor when symptoms have started to appear, the survival rate is significantly reduced. A large proportion of those affected would have survived the disease if it had been detected earlier.

By taking a full-body MRI scan, signs of the disease can be found early, which is the best treatment against cancer.
