A member asked:
Is it normal to have blood in stool after colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: During a colonoscopy, your surgeon or gastroenterologist may have taken biospies or removed polyps. These will occasionally bleed, and result in blood in your stools. If the bleeding is associated with significant abdominal pain and cramping, notify your doctor immediately.
