Doctors are warning that too few people are undergoing colonoscopies and without the test, might fail to detect colon cancer. University of Wisconsin doctors said that they know it?s not an easy subject so they?ve hoping to address some popular colonoscopy myths in the hope that more people will schedule the test. For patients, preparing for a colonoscopy can require patients to drink as many as 4 liters of liquid the night before to clear out the colon. Doctors said that many skip the test simply because of this step. It?s not pleasant, but there?s an upside, according to Dr. Mark Benson of UW Health.
