colonoscopy . Gastroscopy is still a test item that many people refuse to do in their hearts. There is still a deep misunderstanding about colonoscopy and gastroscopy, and they think that colonoscopy is a very painful thing.
But in fact, colonoscopy has its necessity, which will have a better effect on the early detection of some intestinal diseases. Therefore, it is necessary for some high-risk people to undergo colonoscopy regularly.
There is a saying that a colonoscopy can last ten years. Is it true?
This requires to vary from person to person . There is no definite answer and cannot give a very absolute answer. You should know that everyone's situation is different. For some healthy people , a colonoscopy can indeed be used for many years. may be 5 years or 10 years .
But this is not the absolute . After all, everyone's living habits will have some differences, or if you are exposed to some carcinogens without knowing it, it may lead to more serious diseases in the intestines.
Unknown risk will still exist, but if some risk factors can be eliminated as much as possible, the possibility of intestinal diseases will also decrease. Then, the frequency of colonoscopy is not needed to be very high, and it will be checked every 10 years.
For some themselves, intestinal polyps , or other intestinal diseases , and some have other high-risk factors , the frequency of re-examination will be shortened accordingly. It is obviously unreasonable to check colonoscopy once every 5 years or 10 years.
Normally, for 50 people over the age of , it is recommended to check the colonoscopy of once a year for 11-2 years, which helps to detect intestinal diseases early. If some abnormal polyps are found, they can also be removed by the way to reduce the risk of intestinal cancer as much as possible.
So, a colonoscopy can last ten years, There is no need to be too serious about this statement . Different populations of colonoscopy frequency will also vary. There are no strict standards. People with intestinal diseases or intestinal polyps, and people with a relatively high risk of intestinal cancer, should shorten the interval between colonoscopy as much as possible.
has 4 types of people, so it is best to have colonoscopy regularly!
intestinal polyps patients
people who have been diagnosed with polyps in the intestinal polyps, especially those who have have symptoms, and those who have adenomatous intestinal polyps , it is best to have colonoscopy once a year.
and Intestinal polyps have been removed , it cannot be said that it will be done once and for all. In order to avoid the risk of accidents and ensure a healthier intestines, it is best to have regular re-examinations. If problems are found, they can be dealt with in a timely manner.
family has a history of intestinal cancer or has suffered from intestinal cancer by themselves
. Among first-degree relatives, some people have had intestinal cancer. As an immediate relative of , the risk of intestinal cancer is relatively high. In other words, in order to better protect intestinal health, colonoscopy should also be performed regularly.
People who have suffered from intestinal cancer should not be careless. Even if the treatment effect is good, they should not be careless. to prevent cancer from making a comeback. Regular examinations of can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, or even if it recurs, it can be discovered earlier, which will be beneficial for treating cancer.
Chronic gastroenteritis patients
Patients with chronic gastroenteritis cannot be treated reasonably and cannot be properly conditioned in life, which may increase the risk of intestinal cancer, or it may easily lead to worsening of the condition.
In order to ensure a healthier intestinal tract, it is necessary to undergo regular colonoscopy, which is also beneficial for the treatment of gastroenteritis . It is recommended that this type of population should undergo colonoscopy within 1-3 years .
already have symptoms
Some patients with intestinal polyps, or intestinal cancer, will have some symptoms in the early stage. If you can pay attention in time and do a timely examination, it will actually be of great benefit to early detection of diseases and early treatment.
Generally speaking, some diseases in the intestine will mostly be manifested in the stool. If you find that has blood in the stool, even if it is small, it appears frequently, you should pay attention to it. It is very likely that has polyps in the intestine or intestine cancerously becomes .
In addition to this, you should also pay attention to the shape and smell of the stool. You should find that has thinner stool , or that is present with dilute watery , or is constipation or diarrhea alternately. You should take it to your heart. Be careful that cancer cells attack the intestinal .
Intestinal cancer screening, is it impossible to colonoscopy?
According to , Sichuan University Dr. Xiao Lina explained that the colonoscopy can examine the intestine, and is more intuitive, and is clearer . More importantly, when performing colonoscopy, you can also perform biopsy , and in the colonoscopy, and is also removed for part of the polyps.
It can be said that colonoscopy plays an important role in intestinal disease screening and treatment of , and is also an important basis for judging intestinal cancer. Although anal digital examination will also have certain uses for detecting intestinal cancer or some intestinal polyps, it is more important not to colonoscopy, or the accuracy of judging the disease is not that high.
However, two examination methods can be combined together. You should know that the anal microscopic examination is also more important for the discovery of some diseases, and many people do not realize its importance.
colonoscopy may not be considered a good test in other examination items. However, it is still more important to discover some diseases and cooperate with the treatment of certain diseases. I still hope to reduce prejudice against colonoscopy.
