A member asked:
Is it normal to have a lot of bruises after a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Some patients have extra turns in their colon and need pressure on the abdomen to keep those bend from enlarging instead of moving the scope upstream. This would rarely be enough pressure to cause bruising.
