I had a colonoscopy done 3 months ago. I came out fine, but am just wondering if any form of inflammatory bowel disease can be detected that way. Such as ulcerative colitis (i know i spelled it wrong) or Crohns or any other form of it. And if I had it, could some of it’s effects be detected in my blood or urine some how since I had both of those checked this week?

Hi. I am 23, female. Healthy height and weight. Sorry this question sounds disgusting but it’s very serious

OK. When I have a bowel movement, there is so much blood. This has been going on some months. I got worried and I was sick so I had a colonoscopy done about 2 weeks ago. The colonoscopy was fine and they said there were no polyps or anything. But the bleeding won’t stop. Now in fact it is 10 times worse. Literally the toilet will be filled with blood.

I started taking fiber but that hasn’t helped. I eat healthy. I reduced meat to once a week and only a very little. I eat fruits and veggies every day, really barely any dairy products. Lots of water and no soda. I never drink or smoke.

The weird thing is that there is really no pain when I use the restroom or anything. I have had terrible hemmroids before, and there is no pain like that.

Should I be worried now? Is this common after colonoscopy?

Let’s say that a person has a grown son with a late night paper route and the parent goes along every night to help them. Now let’s say that the parent is scheduled for a colonoscopy. Will the parent still be able to go along with the grown kid or will he parent need to stay home and let the grown kid do the route alone?
Will the parent be able to go along with the grown kid that nigh or will the parent need to stay home and recover?
What if the kid really wants the parent to go?
What I the kid refuses to go without the parent?

I’m 13 annd have been having horrible stomach problems for over a year now. Every question I ask on here, most people think I have Chrons, and the symptoms fit me to a T. Could a CT scan and a colonoscopy not detect chrons?
I was tested mulitple times for celiac and tested for h pylori

I was diagnosed with Irritable bowel syndrome about 2 years ago after I went through a colonoscopy. Recently my doctor left my area and I had to find a new one. My new doctor ordered me yet another colonoscopy and a upper GI because of more problems I have been having. So the new colonoscope didn’t show that I had irritable bowel syndrome.It was normal, tho I still have painful bowels, cramps, and diarrhea. But now my new doctor tells me I have gastritis of the stomach. And now im taking yet more meds. Im losing faith in the medical community slowly because it seems like I being bounced around from one thing to another and still in pain. So can irritable bowel syndrome go away on its own or be misdiagnosed? Or should I be worried that im being misdiagnosed now as well? Im so confused.

hat should I expect after a colonoscopy? Can I go to a concert 5 hours afterwards?
I bought tickets, and completely forgot about the colonoscopy until it was too late to switch dates. Could I pull off going to the concert after my colonoscopy? ( I have a driver for those who are about to mention sedative danger! :)

How long does colon cancer take to develop?

I am 23 years old and in pretty good shape. I had a colonoscopy about 2 years ago and everything was fine. About 1 year ago I had a sigmoidoscopy and everything was alright there as well.I dont have a family history of colon cancer either, i just tend to worry about this more than some would. I have almost constant abdominal pain with thin stool. I am going to the doctor later this week, but any information would be greatly appreciated.

It is my understanding that a preventative colonoscopy costs less than a diagnostic one per insurance rules. It is my understanding that colonoscopies are recommended for those people starting at age 50. I am 58 and never had one. I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) symptoms. I asked my doc about getting one during my last exam and he gave me a referral. I will probably make an appointment soon…but am concerned about cost. Anyone have any idea? thx.

A family member of mine had a colonoscopy over a year ago and his colon was punctured which led to infections. However, a year later he is still going to the bathroom around 20 times a day…losing sleep..feeling tired etc. He has had numerous tests, blood work, antibiotics, and nothing seems to work.
