A member asked:
I was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis with a micro hole in my bowel on june 25th. iis it too soon to have a colonoscopy??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow up : Colonoscopy after treatment for diverticulitis usually occurs in the range of 6 weeks after initiation of treatment. Based on the timeline you provided this follow-up colonoscopy is a bit on the early side and you may want to review ideal timing with whomever scheduled this procedure for you.
