Diagnostic Service: Colonoscopy

It is an endoscopic procedure to view the inner lining of large intestine (rectum and colon) with the help of a 4 ft. long, thickness of a finger, flexible tube with a small camera and light at its end. If you are pregnant or have some medical conditions such as diabetes, lung or heart condition, allergic to some medication, inform your doctor about this.

2 days before the test you have to take 2 Dulcolax & 2 Festal-N tablets after dinner. On the previous day, 5 hours after lunch 1 ltr. solution of PEGLEG powder in water should be taken within half an hour. You will pass stool for many times which is necessary for the clear view of the colon. Plenty of water or ORS should be taken to maintain the electrolyte balance on the previous day. You need to take early liquid dinner on the previous day and keep fasting until the test is done. If you face any problem due to PEGLEG powder consumption, immediately contact a physician.
