Well,...: Immediately after, this can occur, as having the scope inserted in your anus can cause laxity to the anal sphincter muscles, and the anesthesia itself can cause some relaxation. BUT, after a day or so, you should return to your baseline pre-Colonoscopy functioning. So,. If this is ongoing, be sure to call the GI doc and get an Appointment with them for an evaluation. Best wishes.

Not normal: What you described is not normal and you should consult the doctor who performed the colonoscopy. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
