ARTICLE 21: How to Prepare for a Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a critical screening tool for colon cancer and other gastrointestinal conditions.

Why Colonoscopy Matters

It helps detect:

• Polyps

• Colon cancer

• Inflammation

• Bleeding sources

Preparation Steps

1. Diet changes – Switch to clear liquids one day before the procedure
2. Bowel prep solution – Drink as prescribed to cleanse the colon
3. Medication adjustments – Discuss blood thinners or diabetes medications
4. Arrange transportation – Sedation requires someone to drive you home

Tips for Better Prep

• Stay hydrated

• Follow instructions exactly

• Chill the prep solution for better taste

Proper preparation ensures accurate results and reduces the need for repeat procedures.
