Your doctor’s office may not be equipped to treat the many problems that you have as a patient, but that doesn’t mean you can’t expect some help.
In fact, some experts are recommending that you seek care when you have the option.
“If you are feeling unwell and are feeling tired, you can be treated with antibiotics.
And you can also have a bowel movement, which can be very helpful to help clear the colon,” Dr. Peter De Vries, a gastroenterologist at Boston University School of Medicine, told CNN.
Dr. De Vrie said that your doctor should be prepared to help you with any discomfort you may be having.
“We want to be able to give you the opportunity to have a colonoscopy.
We don’t want you to feel uncomfortable,” he said.”
So if your doctor feels uncomfortable, then it’s best to have an x-ray, and then talk to the doctor about whether you have any problems,” Dr De Vrys said.
So, what should you expect when you go to the hospital?
“I would expect the same treatment, and the same doctors, as anyone else,” said Dr. Robert S. Miller, chief of gastroenterology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
“And we will have an on-site physician who can do a colonic exam.
And we will also have an outpatient team that is also trained to do an endoscopy and an abdominal x-rays.”
So, if you have an open colon, you may want to take a look at your colonoscopist, and if you’re having an open endoscopically, you might want to see your doctor.
“A colonoscopic examination is very different than an endoscopic examination.
And in an endoscope, you are looking at the outside of the colon and the inside of the intestine,” Dr Miller said.
And, it’s not uncommon to have the doctor or an internist do the colonoscopsy.
“The on-call doctor is trained to make the diagnosis, and they are also trained in how to treat it, and how to clean it, so they can make sure it’s clean and well, and clean the surrounding tissue and organs,” Dr S.
Miller said.
It is important to note that while a colonoscopic exam may help diagnose an infection, it can’t diagnose a disease.
And it’s also not the same as getting a blood test or a CT scan, which are the same type of imaging, but are not as invasive.
“In fact, there is some controversy about whether or not the colonoscope is the right tool for a colorectal cancer diagnosis,” Dr F.D. Martin, a professor of pathology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, told The Huffington Post.
“There are a lot of things to consider, like whether the cancer is benign or malignant,” he added.
The bottom line, Dr Martin said, is that it’s better to have your doctor do the surgery if you want to have surgery to treat your colon.
“That is not to say that they are not necessary for cancer, but we are talking about treatment and prevention, and it’s really important to talk to your doctor about what type of surgery is best for you and your condition.”
