A member asked:
Change in bowel habits /pain . flex sig clear . doc suggested ct colonography as found flex sig too painful - said increased risk as 29 years old and cant get pregnant for 3 years after due to radiation risk ? can anyone explain?

After ct scan: I don't believe that radiation stays in your body after a ct scan. A radiologist is better qualified to answer that. If you wish to avoid radiation, try a colonoscopy as a mild sedative will be administered and sometimes fentanyl is also used as the pain reliever.
