Colonoscopy · Myra City Hospital, Lucknow
How do I prepare for a colonoscopy at Myra City Hospital?
Patients are usually advised to follow a low-fiber or liquid diet one day before colonoscopy and avoid solid food for several hours before the procedure. A bowel-cleansing solution is taken as instructed to empty the intestines completely for clear visualization. You should inform your doctor about medications such as blood thinners, diabetes medicines, or allergies before the test. Arrange for someone to accompany you home because sedation may temporarily affect alertness after the procedure.
