  • Bleeding after a colonoscopy - is it normal?

    Generally, bleeding does not occur if the colonoscopy is diagnostic, i.e. no polyp removal or biopsies. If you have had a biopsy or a polypectomy, bleeding could occur from the polypectomy site. On occasions, patients may have some bleeding if they have friable hemorrhoids. If the bleeding continues, you should contact your gastroenterologist. READ MORE
