A member asked:
Got a colonoscopy about 2 months ago and i haven't passed anything in 5 days. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation : If the colonoscopy was uncomplicated, its highly unlikely there is an association between your current 5-day problem 2-months after the colo. 5-days of no bowel movement is not uncommon & may be pathological depending on what normal is for you. If not passing gas, have abdominal pain, fever, nausea/vomiting, etc., then it is a problem. See your doctor for an evaluation.
