What Causes Persistent Abdominal Pain Post Colonoscopy?

W/F, 153 lbs, 5 1 .. I had a colonoscopy with extreme pain within 45 minutes after leaving hospital. Dr diagnosed post polypectomy syndrome. I have had extreme pain in left abdomen that has circled to left side of back. No abnormal bleeding. However, this was 5 days ago and have had no treatment what so ever. Will I just heal on my own?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent abdominal pain post colonoscopy . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food intolerance , food allergy , bacterial or viral infection , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease.

But in your case the symptoms are probably due to post endoscopy complication . Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Take diet rich in fibers as well.

I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and discuss the condition . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with anaspas. For now eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
