A 60-year-old male asked:

Good morning doctors. i had a colonoscopy, and the dr saw (only) diverticulosis and internal hemorrhoids. i still have not had a bm in around 4 days. what or what else could be wrong with me? isn't this bad if dr says colonoscopy was otherwise normal?

After Colonoscopy: If no bowel movement days after a colo, there are several causes. Some sources say that it may take 3 days to have a BM after a colo. It may be from not much dietary fiber intake afterwards to form a BM. Also depends on why colo was done in the first place (symptoms or cancer screening). Some are concerning. Overall, it's OK to call their office and get specific recommendations for your situation.

Hi doctors! I had a colonoscopy which Thank God showed only diverticulosis and internal hemorrhoids. I seem to get constipation ""once in a while."" What would you suggest as a good laxative to ""keep around the house"" if the constipation resurfaces?

Hi Doctors. I've had situations where I don't have a bm for 3 to sometimes 4/5 days. I had a colonoscopy, and Thank God I had only internal hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. If difficulty producing a bm comes up again, what could this be? What do I do?

Hi Doctors! I had a colonoscopy--Thank God only diverticulosis and internal hemorrhoids. I found out that this Dr did not do an endoscopy. acolorectal surgeon, not gastroenterologist. I had upper endoscopy 3 yrs ago. Do I need endoscopy again?
