A member asked:

Swollen lymph nodes after colonoscopy, should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. You Sung Sang answered

Unusual: This would be an unlikely side effect from a colonoscopy but anything is possible. Discuss this with your endoscopist to see if further testing is warranted or not.
