This means that before the test, the entire intestinal wall must be thoroughly evacuated so that any abnormalities can be seen.
In the instrumental test, a fibre-optic device with a thickness of a pinky is inserted into the Rectumthrough.
The test is uncomfortable, but painkillers and mild sedatives are now routinely used during the test so the patient feels nothing.
