A member asked:
Why would i need a colonoscopy after c-section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You wouldn't: C- section is not a cause for colonoscopy. There is likely something else in your history that concerned your doctor. Speak with the doctor that recommended the colonoscopy as for the indication. More than likely, there is something concerning, but they don't want to do it while you are still pregnant.
