A member asked:
Are there long term effects of a colonoscopy? like if a 20 something year old needed to get them, would them potentially cause stomach harm or decrease lifespan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It this time it is not believed that a colonoscopy may cause significant long term side effects. You should have a full discussion with the doc performing the test.
