Mild pain 2" below naval whn coughing or pressing on it. had diarrhea from colonoscopy test (norml) is it muscle from pushing out poop? no fevr/blood

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mild peritoneal sign: The description of symptoms given appear to represent peritoneal irritation post colonoscopy. Diarrhea can be normal because of prep but tenderness on pressing suggests local peritoneal signs where if a biopsy were taken, a miniscule perforation that has localized is causing the symptoms. If the WBC normal, just observe.
