A member asked:
Is it normal to have developed an increased thirst that lasts until now 1 week after colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommon: The prep for colonoscopy can result in dehydration due to the loss of fluids through the stools. Increasing your water and fluid intake should help resolve this symptom.
