Avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and overwork, and get sufficient rest starting 2 to 3 days before your scheduled checkup.

For dinner the day before the examination, avoid fatty foods, milk, milk fat, instant noodles, coffee drinks, etc. and eat easily digestible food at around 6 p.m.

From 9 p.m., start fasting and do not drink any fluids including water. Alcohol consumption and smoking are also not permitted.
(Take your medications for treatment purposes and the medication for bowel preparation.)

If you are taking any medications, please consult with the examining physician before proceeding and bring your prescription with you on the day of your exam.

If you have recently undergone dental treatment or have a shaky tooth or dentures, please inform the staff in advance.
(If there are any concerns of dental damage, an endoscopy may not be possible.)

If you need to reschedule your health checkup, please do so at least 3 days prior to your scheduled appointment.

If you are taking medication for diabetes, do not inject insulin or take diabetes medication on the morning of your checkup.

To improve the accuracy of the lower abdominal (prostate/pelvic (uterus)) ultrasound examination, it is necessary to have urine in the bladder,
so refrain from urinating on the day of the examination.

Fill out the questionnaire and consent form in advance and bring them with you. If you fill out the questionnaire on our website,
you will be able to proceed with the examination more quickly.

Be on time for your appointment to ensure a smooth examination process.

Do not bring any valuables, children, or pets with you. (You are responsible for any loss or accident.)

If you are scheduled to receive endoscopy under sedation, use public transportation as you will not be able to drive after the examination.
* There is a high chance of an accident if you drive after endoscopy under sedation, as it is comparable to driving under the influence
(alcohol concentration of 0.2%; sleep state lasting up to 24 hours).

You will be required to pay for the checkup during registration before the actual checkup (cash and debit/credit card payment accepted).

Those taking any anticoagulants (aspirin (including aspirin for children), Astrix, warfarin (coumarin), ticlopidine, clopidogrel, dipyridamole, etc.) are at risk of bleeding during biopsy or polypectomy.
Therefore, you should consult with your doctor who prescribed the medication and stop taking it for about a week before the exam for polyps to be removed and inform our medical staff before the exam. If you are taking any blood pressure medication, check whether aspirin is among them.

If you are taking medication or insulin injections for diabetes, be sure to talk to your doctor who prescribed the medication as fasting can cause hypoglycemia.

If you are taking any medications for heart disease, brain disease, asthma, chronic lung disease, high blood pressure, angina, or diabetes, consult with your doctor and inform the medical staff before the exam.

Foods to avoid :  Fruits with seeds (strawberries, watermelon, melon, kiwi, grapes, etc.), seaweed (laver, sea mustard, kelp, etc.),
mixed grains (brown rice, black rice, black beans, sesame seeds, etc.), tough, high-fiber foods (vegetables/herbs, roots, meat, kimchi, etc.),
and oral iron supplements should be avoided as they remain in the intestines, making the exam impossible.

Foods you can eat :  White rice, rice gruel, eggs, tofu, muk (jellied food), cereals, bread, clear beverages (green tea, clear juice, etc.),
seedless fruits (apples, pears, bananas, etc.), potatoes

Make sure you take your colonoscopy medication exactly as instructed.
If you do not take your medication properly, the exam may need to be stopped midway or it may not be possible to perform a biopsy.

If you are taking any blood pressure medication, take it with as little water as possible 4 hours before the examination.

Make sure you take your colonoscopy medication exactly as instructed. If you do not take your medication properly,
the exam may need to be stopped midway or it may not be possible to perform a biopsy.

If you are a female, the examination cannot be performed if you are pregnant, may potentially be pregnant, or are menstruating.

Please do not wear jewelry (necklace, rings, earrings, watch, etc.) as there is a risk of electric shock or burns when removing polyps during colonoscopy.

Eat rice gruel on the day of the examination, avoid alcohol consumption and smoking, and avoid strenuous exercise,
heavy meals, heavy drinking, and long flights for about a week.

Those who have had polyp(s) removed during colonoscopy should wait at least a week before flying.
