Health Check-up Precautions

Please take the following precautions before the exam.

On the day before your check-up, have a light dinner and fast after 10 pm (no water, chewing gum, smoking, etc.).
On the day before your check-up, avoid overworking and get enough sleep.
Collect your stool sample on the day before or on the day of your check-up. (If you are scheduled for colonoscopy, collect your sample before taking laxatives.)
It is recommended that you defecate before coming for your check-up.
Antihypertensive drugs or heart medicine should be taken with minimum amount of water before 5 am on the day of your check-up.
Aspirins or anticoagulants can interfere with hemostasis during endoscopic biopsy, so consult your physician regarding withholding the medication.
If you are taking medicine for diabetes, do not take the drug on the day of your check-up.
If you have diabetes and are scheduled to receive a CT scan using a contrast agent, please consult your physician about contents of your medication as they may interfere with kidney functions.
Please fill out your health questionnaire (medical examination table) carefully as they will be taken into consideration during the check-up procedures as well as in making general diagnosis.
You can use the hospital’s parking lot free of charge on the days you come in for your check-ups and results.
If you have received procedural sedation endoscopy, refrain from driving or participating in important activities on the day of examination.
If you wish to change your reservation, please notify us a week before your original reservation.

Precautions for Female Clients

It is recommended to receive check-up 2-3 days after menstruation. Please consult our staff if you are experiencing menstruation at the moment.
If you are scheduled for a cervical cancer test, avoid vaginal irrigation 24 hours before the test or administering vaginal tablets a week before the test.
If you are pregnant, please consult your OB/GYN physician and notify our staff before check-up as there are risks that the fetus may be exposed to radiation and your results may change due to the pretreated drugs taken for endoscopy.
If you are breastfeeding, please notify our staff as your breast examination results may be inaccurate.
