A member asked:
Should i delay colonoscopy if i am being tested for adrenal problems includingpheochromocytoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the colonoscopy is not urgently needed, i would delay. Pheochromocytoma is an uncommon but deadly disease. If you have it it should be adequately treated or controlled before proceeding with procedures requiring anesthesia.
