Why am I bloated and cramping post-colonoscopy?

I had a colonoscopy on Friday and I am super bloated with major cramps. I also have barely been able to use the restroom since and it hurts to touch my abdomen.

You're having some unpleasant sensations after your colonoscopy. After the procedure, one may feel a little bloated with cramps and experience a difficult time using the restroom. It can be attributed to the air that gets stuck in your colon or the irritation of your intestines. To relieve the discomfort, drink plenty of water, walk around gently, and eat light and easy-to-digest foods like fruits and veggies. Your body needs some time to recover, but if the pain continues or worsens, contact a gastroenterologist for more advice.

I was wondering what to do about my medical situation: I’ve been experiencing few weeks: -Anal discomfort from constipation -bowel leakage - anal itchiness for a due to Background: I had a loop colostomy put in the descending colon but what it seems To me is that some stool bypassed the colostomy and got to the area in the rectum that is damaged, and so its just staying inside the rectum, I can’t seem to have a bowel movement because of the damage in that area and I can’t seem to get it out. because of having the colostomy, I know there isn’t a serious problem like a blockage. but I’m feeling really uncomfortable due to the the leakages and itchiness at the anal area. From past experience Enemas and laxatives and suppositories haven’t been helpful with my constipation. What can I do?

Female | 27

It seems that you have encountered some abnormal complications related to your colostomy or you are constipated. Your anal discomfort and the smell and itchiness are occurring due to the feces that have collected in the damaged area in your rectum. That can occur when the stool makes an unplanned detour. In view of the fact that classical treatments such as enemas and laxatives are of no help; it is time to speak to your care provider for other possible options, like diet modification, stool softeners, or special procedures.

Hello, I am a 19yo male. Months ago, I had some neurological symptoms and went to hospital. There, a blood test showed that I had really low B12 vitamin (under 90 pg/mL). I had some shots to increase B12 levels and hospital adviced me to go to GP and have gastroscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause of the deficiency, because it was not normal at that age to have that low b12 levels. So, the days I was taking the B12 shots and planning to go to a GP, I had some bowel symptoms, including changes in stool size (small-thin and rounded / however not hard to pass), and rarely a little blood on them. When I went to the GP, I told him the whole story and told me that I had to do some other blood tests first to see if there is any gastric inflammation and then we would see if endoscopy is needed. After doing several blood tests (ECR, CRP, etc..) and faecal calprotectin test, GP told me that results were normal and did not show any inflammation in stomach or colon, so no endoscopy was needed. He told me that these symptoms were from functional gastrointestinal disorders and hemmorhoids. All of these happened like 6 months before. Now, I still have small-thin and rounded stools (rarely i pass normal stools but most of times they are like that) - blood is very rare and in small amount. Generally, my diet is normal (includes fiber), i drink a lot of water, no anxiety, not anaemic, normal weight and I exercise. So, these changes in bowel habits that happened months ago (without having any lifestyle change) + little blood rarely + the B12 defficiency I had, make me think I should visit another GP and push for a colonoscopy. I tried to search if increasing B12 would cause such changes in bowel habits, but did not find something. The only family history I know are that some first degree relatives had a small B12 defficiency without symptoms and second degree relative had gastrectomy a lot of years ago. I am a little panicked because Ive been seeing colon cancer is on the rise among young people and unreasoned bowel changes that dont leave soon + blood (however mine is very rarely and little) may be red flag. Especially most cases in young people are advanced stages becaus they are not caught early. Thanks for reading till the end, what do you suggest me to do? Go to another GP? And even push for endoscopy? Finally, could the cause of hard pebble stool be somehow (?) the elevation of B12 so my system need some time to go back to normal again? Because B12 deficiency was slowly developing for years.

While low B12 levels can affect the body in many ways, they usually don’t impact bowel habits like this. It’s great that you’ve had some tests, and they’ve ruled out any inflammation in your stomach or colon. Your symptoms might be due to functional gastrointestinal disorders or hemorrhoids, which are quite common and generally not too serious. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and try not to worry too much. However, if you’re still concerned, getting a second opinion from another doctor might help give you peace of mind.

Hello ?? I’ve lost my appetite. Got stomach ache. Vomit a little and sleep a lot. And my body feels weak.

Female | 23

These symptoms could be caused by a wide range of issues.. like infections, gastrointestinal problems, food poisoning, or other underlying health conditions. In the meantime.. make sure to stay hydrated, and drink small sips of water or clear fluids if you can tolerate them. Avoid heavy or spicy foods that might aggravate your stomach.

I was having a leg pain and my sister gave me a drug that was made of diclofenac-misoprostol. After taking the drug I had intense lower abdominal pain and bled. I’m a virgin and I’m afraid that affected my hymen.

Female | 22

Combinational drug diclofenac-misoprostol is widely used to alleviate pain symptoms. But it may cause some severe side effects including abdominal pain and bleeding, especially in patients with ulcer history. If any of these symptoms occur, you should visit a gastroenterologist immediately. It is highly advised that you do not take any medications unless a doctor has prescribed such.
