In the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, 91-year-old Mr. Hao successfully completed the colonoscopy , and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Hao's daughter Lianlian thanked the cadre department director and digestive expert Cao Yanfei : "My father has wanted to have colonoscopy for a long time. He has made up his mind before, but he was persuaded to withdraw when he took laxatives. At that time, he was nausea and vomited all night, but the bowel movement was not relieved. Thank you Director Cao for designing a very friendly intestinal preparation plan for the father to allow his father to complete the colonoscopy without any pain. The results of this test came out, and there was no major problem with the intestines, and the whole family could breathe a sigh of relief."
was worried about something growing in the intestine, but a large cup of laxatives persuaded him to withdraw
Mr. Hao had repeated stomach pain for many years. He had hiding blood on many stool tests, and had many abdominal CT tests, but no clear diagnosis was made, which made Mr. Hao very worried. In addition, Mr. Hao also had a knot in his heart, and he was vaguely worried that his intestines would have something like his wife.

This worry lingers in Uncle Hao's mind. In addition, every time he feels a stomachache, he is prone to insomnia. During that time, Uncle Hao always thinks randomly. When going to the hospital for treatment, the doctor advises: If you want to make a clear diagnosis, you need to have a colonoscopy. Considering that Mr. Hao is in his 90s, his family still hesitated.
In June this year, Mr. Hao suffered another abdominal pain. This time he finally made up his mind to have a colonoscopy. What my family did not expect was that after finally making up the determination to completely persuade Mr. Hao to give up during the medication process before the examination.
7:00 pm: 2 boxes of laxatives + 2000ml warm water
5:00 pm: 1 box of laxatives + 1000ml warm water
Half an hour later: Take oral defoaming agent dimethicone oil 1 bottle + 100ml warm water
...
The night before, Mr. Hao had abdominal distension after drinking a large cup of laxatives, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If you continue with such a large cup of laxatives, you will feel uncomfortable, but you will have very little stool. After a night of tossing, the old man was exhausted and did not fall asleep in the early morning.
It was soon 5 o'clock in the morning. My daughter got up and asked Mr. Hao to take the second round of laxatives. This time, Mr. Hao refused to drink anything and said angrily, "I just got intestinal cancer, and I won't do it anymore. It's so painful, it's so fatal!" In this way, the colonoscopy was stranded again.

It was September soon. During this period, Mr. Hao suffered several abdominal pains, and it became more and more serious. The colonoscopy was put on the agenda again. According to a friend's recommendation, Mr. Hao heard that Zhejiang Zhongshan Hospital has improved intestinal preparation methods suitable for the elderly, which can avoid a lot of pain, so he found Director Cao Yanfei of Zhejiang Zhongshan Hospital for help.
The solution suitable for the elderly, intestinal preparation is finally no longer painful
Director Cao learned about Mr. Hao in detail. Considering his age and constipation history, in order to allow the elderly to prepare intestinal tract painlessly, an improved intestinal preparation plan was formulated for him.
The first step in improving intestinal preparation is to eat a special nutritious meal for 2 days, and easily do the preliminary work of intestinal preparation while enjoying the food. Director Cao also gave Mr. Hao a small amount of gentle laxative medicine to ensure that he can defecate 1-2 times a day and improve his constipation.
The second step is to take 150ml of orange-flavored laxative the night before the examination, and take it again the next morning. Finally, Mr. Hao successfully released the water-like stool, announcing that his intestinal preparation was successful.
Before the colonoscopy, Director Cao instructed Mr. Hao to eat a small amount of dry bread to avoid hypoglycemia. During the entire colonoscopy, Director Cao carefully checked Mr. Hao's intestinal mucosa without missing any clues. A small polyp was found in the rectum and the family was given the consent. Colonoscopy ruled out bowel cancer, which is considered to be irritable bowel syndrome and requires a period of conditioning. The problem that made Mr. Hao worried for many years finally "the truth" was revealed, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Director Cao introduced that electronic colonoscopy is the most reliable way to detect colon lesions, among which the quality of intestinal preparation is one of the determinants of colonoscopy effect. Intestinal preparation is simple to say but not easy to do. It is the most tedious and painful thing in the colonoscopy process. A large part of the factor that many patients resist colonoscopy is fear of intestinal preparation. This problem is particularly prominent for older patients.
Cao Yanfei's team is committed to the diagnosis and treatment of geriatric internal diseases. It has rich clinical experience in intestinal preparation for elderly patients. It formulates individualized intestinal preparation plans based on the patient's physical condition assessment, so that intestinal preparation becomes "so easy" and makes colonoscopy no longer painful.
