Anorectal Manometry – What to Expect During Your Test

This diagnostic procedure evaluates the function of your anal sphincter and rectal muscles to understand how they coordinate during bowel movements. A thin, flexible catheter is gently inserted to measure pressure levels, helping your doctor identify the underlying cause of constipation or fecal incontinence.

Colonoscopy Patient Education

A colonoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the inside of your rectum and colon. It can help identify polyps, inflammation, bleeding, ulcers, and other abnormal changes in the colon. Careful bowel preparation and following your fasting and medication instructions are essential for a complete examination.

Capsule Endoscopy Patient Education

Capsule endoscopy uses a vitamin-sized capsule containing a tiny camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. After you swallow the capsule, the images are transmitted to a recorder that you wear while the capsule moves naturally through your body. Follow the clinic’s fasting, medication, and equipment instructions carefully to help ensure clear and accurate images.

Anorectal Manometry Patient Education

Anorectal manometry measures how well the muscles and nerves of your rectum and anus work during a bowel movement. A thin, flexible catheter with a small balloon is gently inserted while you are asked to squeeze, relax, and push. The results may help explain chronic constipation, difficulty passing stool, or problems controlling bowel movements.

GoLYTELY Colonoscopy Preparation Guide

GoLYTELY is a prescription bowel-cleansing solution used to empty the colon before a colonoscopy. You will mix and drink the solution according to your clinic’s schedule while following the approved clear-liquid diet. Complete the full preparation and drink the required clear liquids unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

EZ2GO Colonoscopy Preparation Guide

EZ2GO is a bowel-preparation kit used to clean the colon so your doctor can obtain a clear view during your colonoscopy. The kit contents and dosing schedule may vary, so follow the written instructions from Shaya Digestive & Liver Clinic rather than the product label alone. Plan to remain near a restroom, drink the approved clear liquids, and complete every step of the preparation.
