IN THE MORNING. COLON SCREENING PERFORMED DURING THE AFTERNOON ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE INNACURATE, SINCE PATIENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, LIKE FASTING, TO THE LETTER.

I'm assuming you meant colonoscopy. I haven't been through this but I have done this to many patients. Colonoscopy is God's gift to diagnosis of colon cancer. A tube with a camera will be inserted and you will be able to see the insides of your intestines in the monitor. They can get a biopsy by making a pinch from the scope and you will not feel it. One of the risks include perforation in the intestines, sometimes when they biopsy accidents happen when the intestines wall may get a tiny wee hole that can cause air to go into your system, thats why it is done by a highly skilled endoscopist. Other than that, the benefits outweigh the risk if you are highly suspected of cancer. It will not cause problems for you later in life, it's a simple procedure done only by experts.\n\nYour bowels will have to be cleansed by various ways such as enemas, castor oil etc, depends on your doc a day before the procedure.\n\nPlease do not worry about the procedure, it is safe, a little bit uncomfy but they can give anesthesia so that you wont feel the scope going in.\n\nFor now, eat high fiber foods. Hope it helps.

Saturday or Sunday and the earlier the better. Most people are out looking by at least 7am.

These are simple polyps that normally removed at sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy by snaring. I agree with the other answer which says 6 months and then a year follow up, at which point your colon will be imaged, normally with a colonoscope just to ensure there are no further polyps devleloping.\n\nDo not take the advice to speak to an oncologist! It is not cancer! If you felt the need to speak to anyone, a general surgeon or gastroenterologist would be more appropriate.

Don't worry about the colonoscopy procedure as you will not be that uncomfortable. You will be lightly sedated and won't remember anything about it. The good news is that if anything is found to be amiss, it can be taken care of before it becomes life threatening. Add a little  humor to the procedure. I put a temporary tattoo of a Tasmanian Devil on my buttock! The surgical staff thought it was hysterical.

I'm a pharmacy technician/pharmacy student, and I see it prescribed most of the time as taking it in the morning or about an hour before your largest meal.  That way, it's got time to get into your blood stream before you eat something that may cause gastroesophogeal discomfort.

A colonoscopy is where you intenstines are examined with an instrument that looks like flexible tube with a light and lens at one end and a hookup to a video camera at the other. A patient is given instructions prior to the procedure on how to diet and then take a series of laxatives to fully clean the intenstines. When the procedure is performed, you are placed on anesthesia, lying on your side in a bed. The tube is inserted at the appropriate end and the surgeon looks around inside you. If you are lucky they find nothing. If a cancerous polyp is found, they can use the instrument to remove it. Either way, you come out of a deep sleep a winner. If you are over 50, a colonoscopy is a MUST. God knows, it can spare you a deadly cancer.

For CA and west coast its best to view in the hours before dawn Sat and Sun. Although I think I read you might be able to see something around 8PM - 10PM Saturday, Look towards the east.

Well, in a very general sense, it's best to view stars and *some* planets between 10pm and midnight.  You'd have to look up the positions of each planet (or the major ones, anyway) to figure out when all of them are in sight.

depends on the time of day.

Depends what I've eaten and when. Though I like to think of myself as a well-balanced farter. Any time of the day is good

Hi.  im suffering from a ulcerative colitis at the moment.  I have been taking 40 mg. of prednizone, 9 colazal pills and 75 mg of mercaptopurine (6mp) and one rowasa enema at nights.  I have blood in my stool, my stool is very lose and cramping each and everytime.  I was doing really good for the last four years, until i had one alcholic beverage, which they tell you not to have, and the flairups started five weeks ago.  My dr. told me to stay away from fruits, vegtables, red meat, fried food,  dairy food, caffine, soda and juice.  he said to only eat white stuff like chicken, pasta, rice, white bread until i see some improvement.  so far im doing a little bit better then i was five weeks ago, but hopefully i'll see some changes soon. if you see no changes in your condition please talk to your gastro. dr. and see what other meds. he can give you.  you had not mentioned your meds. so dont be affraid, im 41 years old and i have been living with this conditon since i was 17.  Just make sure you get your yearly colonoscopy done in time to make sure things are ok and dont stress out cause stress can really affect the colitis, i know its hard, but until they find a cure for us this is the best we can do,  best wishes to you and i wish you a speady recovery.

As Grueny said, the prep for the test is *far* worse than the actual test itself.  I think the worst part of the test is just that, well, the concept of what they are doing!  :)\n\nI've had several colonoscopies over the past two decades.  For the most part, they don't hurt at all.  If you stay awake, the tech or doctor may actually let you watch on the screen to see what they are finding.  It might be a little bit uncomfortable if they find a polyp they want to snip to biopsy.  The only time I've had a colonoscopy be truly painful was when I suffered from a significant number of adhesions that were attaching my colon to other organs in my body.  However, that's definately not something the vast majority of people going through a colonoscopy would experience.\n\nI know it's easier said than done but try to relax.  The test really isn't that bad at all.
