Endoscopy/ Colonoscopy
D-day.Yesterday, stayed at home as I drank laxative as prescribed by my doctor.
Was already at Makati Medical Center at 8:30AM (should be at the endoscopy unit one hour before my procedure). Because there were many patients, I was only served around 11AM. Woke up around 1:30PM in the recovery room. Was then advised to go to my doctor's clinic for her to explain the result.
Endoscopy
Esophagus was pink and smooth. Z-line was noted at 40cm with no mucosal breaks. The gastric mucosa has patchy erythema at the antrum and body. There were several erosions at the gastric body with hematin stain. Biopsy for uerase test was done. There duodenum up to the second portion was unremarkable.
Post-Operative Diagnosis: Gastric erosions
Colonoscopy
Scope inserted up to the ascending colon only due to looping of colonoscope. The colonic lumen was tortuous. There seems to have inverted diverticula ?/ (2) polyps ? 30cm from the anal verge. Biopsy taken at the side of the ? polyp. The rest of the visualized colonic mucosa was pink and smooth with good vascularity. The hemorrhoidal vessels above the dentate lines was slightly prominent.
Post-Operative Diagnosis: Redundant colon; Sigmoid diverticula/polyp?; Internal hemorrhoids Grade 1
My doctor gave me medicines to take and was advised that I'll have colonoscopy procedure again early next year.
After, went to Glorietta with Vangie to have our lunch at Bistro Ravioli. Went to Mercury Drug to buy the prescribed medicines (will start to take it tomorrow). Bought cake at Red Ribbon Bakeshop before proceeding home.
