Why does colonoscopy cause constipation?
Colonoscopy procedure disrupts natural bowel movements. The four principal causes are (1) Intestinal flora damage by synthetic laxatives; (2) complete lavage of the bowels; (3) the side effects of anesthesia, and (4) stress and anxiety related to cancer screening. If you are already affected by latent or organic constipation, resuming normal bowel movements is even more difficult. You can find a great deal more information on these side effects of colonoscopy on this page: Side Effects of Screening Colonoscopies. Use all or some of the components of the Colorectal Recovery Kit to restore regularity and to prevent further damage. To prevent kidney damage, severe dehydration, and blood clotting related to traditional colonoscopy prep as well as to spare intestinal flora from damage, consider using several repeated applications of Hydro-C instead of the sodium phosphate or polyethylene glycol laxatives.
