First of all, no such thing as ANAL cancer. Secondly, I don't think any cancer is transferable or contagious. The only one that I see as a possibility is maybe leukemia through a blood transfusion but I don't' know for sure.

Please send me a message about this! Do you mean that he has no bowel movements at all? If he does, how often does he? Does he pass wind at all?

It's not in addition to, it's instead of. Reason, in addition to cost, is that the majority of polyps are found in the region covered by a sigmoidoscopy. If you have a history of colon cancer in your family, and are over age 40, I'd strongly argue for the colonoscopy.

No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy. At the visit before the colonoscopy, he will be given very specific directions as to what to eat and drink the days and night before. If he follows those, he should be fine after the procedure. Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.

Dark chocolate can help prevent it but not sure about milk chocolate.

As a consultant for a conscious sedation consulting firm, I receive this question often. The gold standard set by the American Society of Anesthesiologists is as follows: Summary of American Society of Anesthesiologists Preprocedure Fasting Guidelines2* Ingested Material Minimum Fasting Period† Clear liquids‡ 2 h Breast milk 4 h Infant formula 6 h Nonhuman milk§ 6 h Light meal 6 h * These recommendations apply to healthy patients who are undergoing elective procedures. They are not intended for women in labor. Following the Guidelines does not guarantee a complete gastric emptying has occurred. † The fasting periods apply to all ages. ‡ Examples of clear liquids include water, fruit juices without pulp, carbonated beverages, clear tea, and black coffee. § Since nonhuman milk is similar to solids in gastric emptying time, the amount ingested must be considered when determining an appropriate fasting period. A light meal typically consists of toast and clear liquids. Meals that include fried or fatty foods or meat may prolong gastric emptying time. Both the amount and type of foods ingested must be considered when determining an appropriate fasting period. PRACTICE GUIDELINES 1007 Anesthesiology, V 96, No 4, Apr 2002
