Is There Something To Be Done Before Going For Defecography Test?

I have a Defecography test coming up--The night before.......Are there any things I should do? Any rules about what you eat, etc., before that time, etc.? Also, anything one need do/not do the day of the test? (Have been told nothing by the hospital except to come in 1-1/2 hrs before the actual test.)

Hello dear,
actually defecogram is a functional test that means it is to check the defecation 'in real time'. For this test, they will clean your rectum by giving 'enema'. No special instructions are usually given. However it is advisable to take semisolid and light food with less residue such as cooked rice.
