Please allow at least one (1) hour for this appointment.  \n** Please note that a normal internal ultrasound will be performed. Some patients are told that the scan is done transrectally but this is not the case. Because your doctor believes you may have endometriosis that affects your bowel, some preparations are necessary to optimise the images of the bowel. **  \nPlease Note:  \nYou will need to be well hydrated prior to the procedure and may drink water throughout the day, but you will not need a full bladder. Please do not eat for 2 hours prior to your appointment time.  \nBring with you:  \nThe referral from your Doctor and your Medicare card. Any previous scans or reports relating to this ultrasound (if performed elsewhere) . The cost of this scan is $550.00.  \nPayment can be made by:  \n Eftpos  \n Credit card – Visa or MasterCard only  \n Cash  \nPreparation:  \nPrevious patients have advised that the preparation is not uncomfortable or painful.  \nFor optimum results, the rectum should not contain gas as it will distort the ultrasound image. It is therefore important that you begin preparation the night before the scan as well as an enema no earlier than ONE hour prior to the scan.  \nPlease take:  \n1. Dulcolax SP (fluid solution) 10 drops the night before or Dulcolax tablet, one tablet of 5 mg.  \nThis is a mild laxative that will make it easy for you to go to the toilet the next morning.  \nAND  \n2. Fleet enema ONE HOUR before the scan.  \nIf you are NOTable to do this one hour or less prior to your scan from home or work, please bring the enema with you to our rooms ONE HOUR prior to yourscan.  \nA Fleet enema is a bottle with 133 ml of liquid in it. It has a nozzle that is pre-covered with gel. Apply it while lying on your side (or if you feel more comfortable-be sitting upright on the toilet seat) and insert the nozzle into the anus and squirt the full content of the bottle into your rectum. You will start to feel a strong urge to go to the toilet, but you need to try and wait 3 to 5 minutes before going to the toilet to empty your bowels. After this your rectum should be completely empty.  \nThe medication is obtained from a pharmacist over the counter and does not require a prescription. Each medication costs around $7.00. Ensure the chemist gives you the Fleet enema rather than the oral Fleet as this has happened to a number of patients and usually it is only noticed an hour before the scan. It is then too late to go and exchange it.  \nThe Day of Your Endometriosis Scan  \nBelow is some helpful information of what generally occurs on the day of your scan. It is hoped this information will make the day a more pleasant experience.  \nOn arrival, our receptionist will greet you and ask your name and for the original referral that your doctor gave you. The referral will allow you to claim from Medicare and the notes will advise us what particular service is to be provided.  \nOther details will be verified such as your date of birth, address, Medicare number and contact details to make sure we use the correct file. We have many ladies with similar names and the same birth dates so we need to be sure we have the correct file.  \nYou will be asked to take a seat and depending on the day you should be seen close to your appointed time. Some days, we maybe running behind due to previous complications where extra time is taken for those patients with serious medical conditions.  \nA sonographer (person that performs ultrasound) will call your name and will verify your personal details again to make sure we have the correct person. Once in the room you should see your name on the screen on the wall and you should check your lastname is correct. The sonographer will also ask personal health questions to gain an understanding of your history to assist in scanning and will also verify that","cbCaijii7DmPCpyC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijii7DmPCpyC","pdf",478603,"English","# Preparation\n## Hydration and fasting\n## What to bring\n## Payment information\n## Bowel preparation (laxatives and enema)\n# What to expect on the day of the scan\n## Arrival and registration\n## Verification and health questions\n## During the internal ultrasound\n## After the scan and reporting","[{\"question\":\"How long should you allow for a deep infiltrating endometriosis ultrasound appointment?\",\"answer\":\"Allow at least one (1) hour for the appointment.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main pre-procedure eating and drinking instructions?\",\"answer\":\"You should be well hydrated and may drink water throughout the day, but you do not need a full bladder.
