Common QUESTIONS Patients Ask AFTER Their COLONOSCOPY
Besides wanting to know what we find during the colonoscopy - a video linked below - what other questions do patients typically have after their colonoscopy? Lets talk about them!
Some patients are concerned that a perforation may happen. How likely is a perforation? What if there is bleeding? How much bleeding is normal vs when should you be concerned? Will you have discomfort or be in pain after the procedure?
What if you don't understand or forget the information that was provided to you? When will it be ok to start taking blood thinners again?
Maybe the most common questions asked - when can you eat? And when can you drink alcohol? Find out at the end of this video!

Just had my third last Friday. No polyps! Hurray! I’m 72, so maybe no more for me.

Great news, good for you! I had my first one in early Aug. they found one polyp. Had they found any with you prior to your clear one? I hope there’s hope for me that my next one will be clear. 🙏🏼

@@alexac921, no, polyps never found in any of my previous 2. I have IBS, so good to know that nothing major internally is causing my symptoms.
Thank you for caring for people beyond your client base. Your information helped me face, ease, and overcome my abject fear of this procedure. I obtained the agency to ask questions, to figure out what was right for me (within the protocols for prep), and I achieved my goal of getting an A+ in my personal Colonoscopy Class. In gratitude for a good result, I've donated to Lead From Behind (best name for a charity related to colon cancer, right?)
Thank you soo much for advice very hepfull and reassuring
Thank you for helping apprehensive patients like myself. You're very well spoken and present the facts in an easy to understand matter.
