Painless colonoscopy
is an endoscopic technique that allows you to detect enteritis, polyps, tumors, etc. by inserting an endoscope into the rectum and manipulating the endoscope to observe and examine the intestinal tract. Due to its limited length, painless colonoscopy can only cover the colon and rectum, not the stomach, to observe the gastric mucosa.
Painless colonoscopy requires the use of anesthetics. Before performing the examination, inform the doctor of the drugs currently being used to help him determine whether the examination requirements are met and prevent adverse consequences.
