Getting a colonoscopy is not easy. Stay up late, swell your stomach, run to the toilet.
It's 5:30 a.m., and I'm taking my diluted peg electrolyte powder (an intestinal cleanser, also a type of laxative) on time from 4:00 a.m. It takes 1600 ml to drink in an hour and a half, which is enough for three bottles of mineral water. I drank so much the night before.
The suspense TV series has become my "water dish", but fortunately, the water is not unpleasant to drink, and it is slightly sweet. Drinking water is not difficult for me, thanks to the fact that I usually drink tea every day.
250ml, I can drink it in four or five sips. This cow's drinking ability is estimated to surpass that of many people. The difficulty is that the stomach is not so big! When I drank 1000 ml, I felt like my stomach was going to burst and started to regurgitate.
Frequent toilet visits are not very uncomfortable, but they feel better than constipation. But the anxiety in my heart is beyond words! According to the standard pattern of bowel cleansing in the video, how can the toilet bowl always fail to meet the requirements.
So, I plucked up the courage to drink another 250ml myself. What should I do if I don't meet the inspection requirements? Isn't it in vain to suffer sin, and money to be spent in vain? Finally, by the fifth time, the toilet poop was like water, and I was completely relieved.
I stayed up until 8 a.m., and I had to rush to the hospital on time for a gastrointestinal endoscopy.
I barely slept well all night. Started taking medicine at 20:00 in the evening and had diarrhea several times.
After going to bed at 10:30 p.m., I woke up at 1:30 a.m. and woke up again at 2:30 a.m. I was always restless and worried about missing my early morning medication.
It wasn't until 3:30 that I woke up again with diarrhea. Do the math, I probably slept on and off for less than 4 hours that night. Thankfully, I slept for two hours yesterday afternoon, and I'm not very sick now.
Am I too nervous to get a check-up?
Since the day before yesterday, I have been cautious. I read and looked at the list prescribed by the doctor repeatedly, for fear of missing it, in case I suffered all the hardships but could not achieve the results of the examination, wouldn't it be very wronged.
Studying the videos on the Internet, I have been preparing since the day before yesterday. I drank white porridge for two days in a row, ate noodles, and did not eat any vegetables and fruits with crude fiber.
I wasn't much afraid of drinking laxatives. I've always taken care of my body and my health.
Many of my peers have suggested that it is best to have a colonoscopy after 50. I tested positive for Helicobacter pylori not long ago, and recently my tongue was numb, accompanied by bad breath, I don't know why, the doctor recommended a gastroscopy to confirm. Since it was under general anesthesia, it was done together with the gastrointestinal endoscopy.
The appointment was rescheduled several times, and finally waited for my teammates to rest this morning. For general anesthesia examination, there must be people around. Wish I had all the best for my check-up today and be in good health.
When I was in my thirties and forties, I was diagnosed with breast hyperplasia and breast nodules. I will definitely follow the doctor's instructions to go for a physical examination once a year, and I can't be shaken. It took a lot of money to do color ultrasound and mammography targets.
But there are also excessive behaviors that occur. I was once scared half to death by cervical erosion on the physical examination list, and spent one or two thousand yuan for microwave treatment under the doctor's "hint".
With the development of network information, after reading medical science, I realized that this is purely superfluous.
From this, you can see that I am afraid of illness and aging, in addition to paying attention to physical examination, I also pay more attention to healthy diet and moderate exercise.
I am always worried that "the embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in the anthill", and I am cautious about my body. If you don't feel well, go to the doctor immediately. I have a wish, I pay attention to physical examination prevention and nutritional health care, and the body machine will definitely be smooth!
When you are over 50 years old, you find out that no matter if you despise or attach importance to it, the body machine will definitely age and malfunction, and it is useless to be afraid.
Suddenly, one day, my eyes were glazed, the vitreous was cloudy, I couldn't see far away, I couldn't see clearly, my arms began to ache, and my waist and knees began to hurt.
What's even more speechless is that the speech is beginning to be unfavorable, and the extremely smooth tongue twisters that were said before began to be read incoherently, and "black fertilizer gray fertilizer black gray fertilizer will volatilize" is always misread.
On Wednesday morning, I sat in front of the computer from 7 o'clock to mark the test papers, and I was so focused that I sat for hours before I knew it. When I got up from the chair and took the first step, I suddenly noticed something unbearable, the pain in the right hip connecting to the thigh, and the right foot could not stand on the ground, so I could only walk on tiptoe.
I immediately checked the Internet and found that it was most likely due to sitting for a long time. This is not the case at a young age. The machine was aging and breakdowns were starting to appear.
According to the method on the Internet, I practiced waist and leg activities for several days in a row, and finally slowly recovered.
From then on, I never dared to sit still for hours at a time. I won't be too obsessed with brushing headlines and watching dramas, my body machine is aging, and I have to take good care of her.
