Why Having Dull Stabbing Pain In Groin After Colonoscopy?

Hi, I was checking out the internet to see if there were any symptoms after a colonoscopy, which I had last Monday week. I had three polyps removed which were ok. However over the last few days I have had dull stabbing pains in my lower right groin. They come and go and can be quite painful. I hope to get an appointment to see my GP tomorrow, but wondered if these pains were related to the colonoscopy.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
well it can be related to colonoscopy due to air which is insuflated or due to polyps removal. so you need to be patient for 1-2 weeks when it should subside. If there wont be improvement then you ll need more detailed gastroenterologic work up to see is there something else
Wish you good health. Regards
