Advice Post CT Colon scan
Please use the toilet and take your time before you leave the hospital. The Carbon Dioxide we have used to inflate your bowel is absorbed quickly by your body and any mild pain and bloating should not take long to pass.
You can return to your normal eating and drinking pattern. We recommend that you drink plenty of fluids for the following 2-3 days.
You should not experience any after affects from this procedure. If you experience any severe pains or prolonged discomfort in your abdomen after you have left the hospital, you should attend your local Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department or contact your GP explaining you have recently undergone a CT Colonography.
