A member asked:

Had colonoscopy 9 days ago. doc took x10 biopsies from rectum area. still sore when passing stools. how long until this heels completely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not from bx: Biopsies of the GI tract typically does not cause pain. You may be feeling discomfort from hemorrhoids that may have been irritated by your bowel prep. Try some aloe wipes and topical creams. If this persists however call your colonoscopist.
