What is fibersigmoidoscopy?
A fibersigmoidoscopy is an examination of the first 25-35 inches of your colon. In order for you to have the best exam possible, the lower portion of the colon must be clean.
Hereunder is the fibersigmoidoscopy preparation. You should follow these directions:
Day before the test
You should eat lightly this day. Take only soup, baked potato and other light foods.
Day before test
This is the time between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. You should need to take 10 ounces of Citrate of Magnesia. You may purchase this at your pharmacy. Chill this or pour it
over ice and sip it slowly.
Day of test
You should keep the meal before your examination. Just take light toast, juice, soup, etc. If you are going to be sedated, no food or after midnight.
Day of test
You will need to take enemas until clear 1-2 hours before your exam. We suggest purchasing two Fleet's enemas at your pharmacy for this purpose.
However if you are on medication for high blood pressure or a heart condition, please take your medication on the day of your procedure. Try to take your medication two hours before your scheduled time.
