What are the methods of intestinal examination?


Empathy in care, excellence in medicine.
Intestinal examination methods include stool examination, colonoscopy, CT examination, etc. Details are as follows:
1. Stool
examination can be done by the subject. If there are white blood cells, you need to be alert to infectious enteritis. If there are red blood cells or occult blood test positive, you need to be alert to intestinal bleeding.
2. colonoscopy
can be done by the subject, which can directly observe the presence or absence of erythema, ulcer and bleeding in the colon mucosa. If abnormal, endoscopic treatment can be performed directly.
3. CT examination
can be done by the subject, which can clarify whether there are inflammatory changes in the intestinal wall, assess the specific location and scope of the lesion, and understand whether there is intestinal stenosis or dilatation. In
addition to the above relatively common examination methods, intestinal examination can also be performed by X-ray barium enema, magnetic resonance imaging, histopathology, etc. to clarify the diagnosis. The subject needs to pay close attention to the examination results. If the results are abnormal, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice to receive treatment to improve the prognosis.
