You certainly could have irritation in theperiod all region, but this irritation usually results within a few days. Since it has been two weeks now since your colonoscopy, you should have been improving. You should contact your gastroenterologist who did the procedure and let them know that you are concerned. You need to be seen soon. Good luck.
