• Colonoscopy?

I had a colonoscopy on 1/6/21. This was 4 days ago and still no bowel movement. Is this normal?

This does happen sometimes after a colonoscopy. After the test, the colon might shut down for a few days in response to the prep or manipulation by the colonoscope. Most everyone will regain colon function after a few days. It's ok to use some laxatives to help.
