How to prepare
- Consultation: Detailed discussion with the gastroenterologist about symptoms and medical history.
- Diagnostic Tests: May require blood tests (e.g., complete blood count) to check for anemia.
- Bowel Prep: If a colonoscopy is scheduled, a strict clear-liquid diet and laxative preparation the day before to cleanse the colon.
- Medication Review: Inform the doctor of all medications, especially blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin), which may need to be temporarily adjusted.
- Fasting: Typically required for 6-8 hours before any endoscopic procedure involving sedation.
Risks & possible complications
- Risks are associated with the diagnostic procedures, not the symptom itself. For colonoscopy/endoscopy:

- Bleeding from the site of a biopsy or polyp removal.
- Infection.
- Incomplete procedure requiring a repeat.

- A responsible adult must drive the patient home.
- Patients may experience mild bloating or gas pains which resolve quickly.
- Normal diet can usually be resumed the same day, unless otherwise instructed.
- If a polyp was removed, specific post-procedure instructions regarding diet and activity will be provided.
- Follow-up is crucial to discuss biopsy results and the definitive treatment plan for the diagnosed condition.

Krishna Reddy, a 58-year-old retired schoolteacher...
Krishna Reddy, a 58-year-old retired schoolteacher from a small village in Andhra Pradesh, had always been health-conscious. He noticed bright red blood in his stool for the first time two weeks ago, which he initially attributed to spicy food. However, when it recurred and was accompanied by mild abdominal cramping, his family grew concerned. His daughter, a nurse in the city, insisted he see a specialist. The gastroenterologist, Dr. Mehta, listened patiently to Krishna's history, noting his vegetarian diet and lack of prior digestive issues. Dr. Mehta recommended a colonoscopy to investigate the source of the bleeding, explaining it was likely from the lower digestive tract. Krishna was anxious about the procedure, fearing a serious diagnosis like cancer, which had taken his brother. The preparation was difficult, but the staff was kind. The colonoscopy revealed internal hemorrhoids and a benign polyp, which was removed. Recovery was swift with minor discomfort. Krishna felt an immense wave of relief, his fear replaced by gratitude. He now follows a high-fiber diet and feels empowered to manage his health, his bond with his family strengthened through the shared worry and positive outcome.
