Do you mean a Coloscopy? Because then you have to fast before you have one. At the hospital they give you what to drink and a enema.

For a colposcopy you should not douche or have sex a week before the procedure, I know this because I have one scheduled this week.. The answer above is for a colonoscopy, which I have had also.. there are no enemas with this procedure.
