A member asked:
6 month on/off again/chronic diverticulitis, had a bleed tonight, went to er said normal. is it okay to have ct colonography in about 7-10 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if needed: Probably no need for that though. Try not to get ct's unless really needed given the radiation. Give it some time, take fiber and finish the antibiotics. Should get better.
