X-ray of Defecography Price in Bangladesh

What is X-ray of Defecography?

Defecography is a specialized X-ray procedure used to assess the function of the rectum and pelvic floor during defecation. It helps diagnose conditions such as rectal prolapse, bowel incontinence, constipation, or pelvic floor dysfunction.

During the procedure, a contrast medium, often barium or a similar substance, is introduced into the rectum. The patient is then asked to sit on a commode or use a simulated defecation position while X-rays capture the movement of the contrast as the patient attempts to pass it.

This process provides real-time images of the rectum and anal canal, helping to identify any structural or functional abnormalities. Preparation may include fasting or bowel cleansing.

What to expect & how to prepare

X-ray of Defecography is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your X-ray of Defecography result rather than self-diagnosing.
