A member asked:

Can you get anal warts after a colonoscopy. can it be transmitted by infected scope?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anything's possible.: If it can happen it will... But i can find no evidence in the medical literature re: reports of anal warts transmitted by a contaminated colonoscope. First, confirm that anal warts are present please--there are some mimicks.
