What are the side effects of painless colonoscopy?


Restoring balance, one patient at a time.
Painless colonoscopy generally refers to painless colonoscopy, which may cause intestinal bleeding, respiratory obstruction, intestinal perforation and other side effects. Details are as follows:
1. Intestinal bleeding
Painless colonoscopy is an invasive examination. If the doctor does not operate properly, it may damage the intestinal mucosa, causing intestinal bleeding and increasing the risk of intestinal infection.
2. Respiratory obstruction
Painless colonoscopy requires anesthesia. Tongue falling back during anesthesia, oral endocrine and sputum obstruction can cause respiratory obstruction.
3. Intestinal perforation During
painless colonoscopy, the doctor needs to inject gas into the intestinal tract to dilate the intestinal tract, which may lead to intestinal perforation.
