What Can Be Concluded From This Colonoscopy Test Result?
I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy done yesterday. The pictures from the colonoscopy show 7 perfectly round objects that appear to be pills intact in my cecum. I took 1 pill at 4 am that morning and 3 at 8pm the night before the procedure. The doctor said he assumes it was pills and it is nothing to be concerned about. I am concerned and wonder if pills can get all the way to the cecum intact. I didn t even take that many pills so it would have to be a build up from several days. Should I get a second opinion??
