I had a colonoscopy today and have a a couple of question. I thought after the procedure you would not have any output right after it was done because everything had been cleaned out. I have had some real dark watery output. Also I am having some bleeding from my rectum. Do they also check that. I have a colostomy. Thanks for any information.
I wish I had answers for you, but I don't know. Is there a nurse at the hospital where you had it done at that you can call?

Any kind of bleeding after a colonoscopy should be reported to the doctor or medical staff who did the procedure. Sometimes the scope can cause a bleed but it's best to check with the hospital staff for any follow up needed.

I had several colonoscopies while I had my colostomy and they did check rectum and sigmoid colon. I had small amounts of blood after the scopes. I did not have any output until the next day. If you are having bright red blood or more than just spots I would let your doctor/nurse know. Good luck!

Hi lovely
In my experience small amounts of blood are from biopsy which are usually done while banging around in there. But yeah, if you have concerns, let them know.
