Hello, I had a colonoscopy on Thursday and a large polyp was removed it is now almost Sunday and my lower abdomen feels tender and kind of weird like I m ovulating?? It s impossible that I am because I m going through and almost dome menopause. So was wondering what it is? Is it normal? I have no bleeding a bit gassy and that s it but odd feeling?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The tenderness is expected and should resolve within within a week in most cases.
In many cases after trauma (surgery is a form of trauma), the pain and discomfort only starts 2 or 3 days after the event, there is a delayed response.
You can consider the use of Tylenol to help deal with your discomfort.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
