Reviews

Valdemar:

Irrigoscopy of the intestine is completely painless procedure.

This I understood when I was sent for a second examination.

I was told that the intestines are not yet cleaned up to the end, and not all flaws are visible.

Elena Sergeevna:

Compared with a colonoscopy, this is just a mosquito bite.

The only drawback of the procedure is frequent repeated cleansing of the intestine( for and knowledge of excess feces).

Maria:

Sometimes, our special products( laxatives) show a better result than imported ones. That is, expensive is not always good. Let's take, for example, our Russian Lavakol and its imported counterpart, Fortrans. The quality and effect of the drugs significantly converge, and their price differs significantly. The question arises: Why pay more?

Viking:

Just returned from an unsuccessful irrigoscopy procedure and immediately fell into the hands of his dear wife( not cleaned stomach and intestines).

As a rule, I do not get any medical procedures, and my wife takes everything for a new one.

Today we did, sorry, an enema for one liter of water( the first time in my life!).

At first I was afraid, but there was no pain.

Then I felt that my stomach was full of water and I went to the toilet.

I went there twice so that there was nothing left.

In the morning, everything happened again, and we went to the hospital for a procedure.

In the hospital I was put on my left side, on the sheet, which my wife prudently captured.

Then, I was filled with barium( about a liter).

Sensations - home( as I have already seen).

In general, it's ok. .

Then I was so photographed from the inside and sent to the toilet for a procedure of "meditation".

After returning to the treatment room, they continued photographing me to make sure that all the barium came from me.

Then, me,( again - not painfully) through the tip of the enema, pumped up with air( up to the state of discomfort).

Then, on my command, "pumping" immediately stopped.

Two more photographs are taken and you can again run to the toilet.

I bid you farewell!
