In Holborn, we help prepare the bowels for colonoscopy. For instance, a colonoscopy (fibro-colonoscopy, FCC) examines the rectum and large intestine through a special probe. To clarify, this is the most accurate method of examination, which has no analogues in terms of diagnostic and treatment options. Usually, the proctologist prescribes this study during the consultation of a patient with problems with the intestines.
So, colonoscopy allows the diagnosis of almost all the most dangerous pathologies of the colon accurately and on time:
Colonoscopy provides a unique opportunity to treat many pathologies without cavitary operations.
Moreover, a colonoscopy can detect various diseases in the early stages to avoid developing serious complications. In addition to the already diagnosed cases of intestinal cancer and other severe pathologies, the indications for compulsory colonoscopy are:
The main contraindications to colonoscopy are severe hypertension, pulmonary and cardiac failure, strokes, peritonitis, significant disorders of the blood coagulation system, and ulcerative or ischemic colitis in extreme forms and adhesions. In every case before the procedure, it is necessary to consult a specialist to determine the possible contraindications.
Special preparations are necessary to improve the results of a colonoscopy. The most convenient practice is cleaning the intestine. Secondly, using enemas is not recommended because it requires specific skills for a guaranteed result. Conducting colonic irrigation in a specialised clinic, where professionals qualitatively and reliably remove toxins and waste from the colon, is advised. We suggest you have an initial consultation and procedure at our clinic in London.
