Yes: This happens sometimes. It's why they watch you. Expect a full recovery. Wait for the biopsy result and take appropriate action as your physician directs.

Bleeding: Yes you will be okay. Its very unusual to have this complication. Do you have any history of a bleeding disorder? Also, its unusual to have a colonoscopy at such a young age, i imagine you were have severe symptoms to warrant a colonoscopy. Your doctors will take good care of you and keep a close eye on you. Best of luck getting back to normal.
