Instructions For Preparation
- On the night before your appointment, you may have a normal dinner
- After dinner, take one (1) antibiotic pill
- On the morning of the procedure, about 2 hours before the scheduled appointment, administer a Fleet enema, using the instructions on the box.
- After the enema, take the second antibiotic pill
- If you are able to have a good “satisfying” bowel movement without the need for an enema, that’s also OK.
- As long as your rectum is empty at the time of the procedure.
- You may have a normal breakfast the morning of the procedure
- Do not take aspirin or other known blood thinners for ten (10) days before the procedure
- If you have any questions about blood thinners, please contact Dr. Vapnek well in advance of your biopsy.
Afterwards you may return home or to work.
