Can I Proceed with Colonoscopy After Partying with Drugs?
Patient's Query
I went out and partied last night. I drank alcohol, took MDMA and cocaine. Last time I had anything was 3am this morning. I stupidly forgot I am booked in for a colonoscopy tomorrow at 12:30pm. I'm due to start my bowel prep at 5pm tonight. Do I need to postpone the procedure or am I okay to proceed. Thanks
Answered by Aliya Anchan
I would suggest delaying your colonoscopy procedure if you have consumed alcohol, MDMA/ecstasy or cocaine all these substances are known to interfere with the result and can also influence the recovery process. Such compounds can be detrimental in the testing process even worsening side effects during the procedure. Well, it is better to consider having a gastroenterologist or the doctor doing the colonoscopy to postpone the appointment at a later date.
