Colonoscopia

Colonoscopia (koe-lun-OS-kuh-pee) est examen ad mutationes — ut tumescentes, irritatae texturae, polypi, vel cancer — in intestino crasso (colon) et recto quaerendas adhibitum. Inter colonoscopiam, tubus longus, flexilis (colonoscopium) in rectum inseritur. Camera parva visualis in apice tubi medico patitur inspiciendi intus totum colon.

Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy to: Investigate intestinal signs and symptoms. A colonoscopy can help your doctor explore possible causes of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea and other intestinal problems. Screen for colon cancer. If you're age 45 or older and at average risk of colon cancer — you have no colon cancer risk factors other than age — your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy every 10 years. If you have other risk factors, your doctor may recommend a screen sooner. Colonoscopy is one of a few options for colon cancer screening. Talk with your doctor about the best options for you. Look for more polyps. If you have had polyps before, your doctor may recommend a follow-up colonoscopy to look for and remove any additional polyps. This is done to reduce your risk of colon cancer. Treat an issue. Sometimes, a colonoscopy may be done for treatment purposes, such as placing a stent or removing an object in your colon.

Colonoscopia pericula pauca posuit. Raro, colonoscopiae complicationes includunt: Reactionem ad sedativum usum durante examine; Sanguinationem a loco ubi specimen textus (biopsia) sumpta est vel polypus vel alius textus abnormis remotus est; Lacunam in pariete coli vel recti (perforationem). Postquam pericula colonoscopiae tecum discusserit, medicus tuus rogabit te ut formulam consensum subscribas permissionem procedendi dantem.

Ante colonicoscopiam, necesse est intestinum crassum purgare (exinanire). Quidquid residui in intestino crasso fuerit, inspectionem bonam intestini crassi et recti per examen impedire potest. Ad intestinum crassum exinanitum, medicus te rogare potest ut: Die ante examen, dieta speciali utaris. Typice, cibum solidum die ante examen non potes edere. Potus ad liquores claros limitari possunt — aqua pura, thea et café sine lacte vel cremoribus, ius, et potus spumantes. Liquores rubros vites, qui pro sanguine per colonicoscopiam confundi possunt. Nihil edere vel bibere post mediam noctem die ante examen non licebit. Laxans cape. Medicum tuum plerumque laxans medicamentum commendabit, plerumque magno volumine vel in pilularum forma vel liquida. In plerisque casibus, moneriberis laxans capere noctem ante colonicoscopiam tuam, vel rogari poteris ut laxans utrisque nocte ante et mane procedendi utaris. Medicamenta tua accomoda. Medicum tuum de medicamentis tuis ad minimum septimana ante examen mone — praesertim si diabetes, pressio sanguinis alta, vel morbi cordis habes, vel si medicamenta vel supplementa quae ferrum continent accipis. Dic etiam medico tuo si aspirin vel alia medicamenta quae sanguinem tenuant accipis, ut warfarinum (Coumadin, Jantoven); anticoagulantia recentiora, ut dabigatranum (Pradaxa) vel rivaroxabanum (Xarelto), ad periculum concretionum sanguinis vel ictus minuendum adhibita; vel medicamenta cordis quae thrombocytos afficiunt, ut clopidogrelum (Plavix). Forse necesse erit dosis tuas accommodare vel medicamenta temporaria desinere accipere.
