Pre-Operative Instructions for Sugery Hospital only

 

Colon Rectal/Hemorrhoids

Before your appointment, you will need to buy two Fleet ™ enemas (~$1.50 each). These can be found at any pharmacy. Following the instructions on the box, you will need to take one enemas two hours before your appointment and the other enema one hour before your appointment time. In order to do a thorough examination, these instructions must be followed closely.

It's important to describe all of your symptoms to your doctor. On examination, your doctor may be able to see external hemorrhoids and bulging internal hemorrhoids. When hemorrhoids are not visible beyond the anus, your doctor may examine the inside of the anal canal using a lighted instrument called an anoscope.
