A member asked:
I have a colonoscopy tomorrow i am required to do an enema. i can't get myself to do it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its necessary: The enema or liquid solution GoLytely (polyethylene glycol) is necessary for proper colon prep. Whithout this it would be difficult for the endoscopist to look into your colon. Check with the procedure center if have not been able to do so, as they may re-schedule.
