Colonoscopy

[Bluegirl1948]

Hi I had a full colonoscopy last Friday , i have had UC for the last four years i was told Friday that it was still mild . Be since then I didn’t go to the loo Saturday just bloody mucus , same Sunday ,Sunday evening I did pass a bit. But ever since then it just been runny mucus and blood getting a bit worried. She did take a lot of biopsy’s , has anyone else had this after a colonoscopy, I am on Prednisolone 5mg on a reducing schedule . I am hoping they will help with this . I am only asking has anyone seen blood for this long after.

Hello Bluegirl, I passed blood and mucus about four days after my colonoscopy. I read somewhere that bleeding often doesn't occur straight a way, but often shows up to a week later. Try not to feel too alarmed, although I'm a fine one to talk, I got so worried I went to A& E thinking I had an infection. Hope things settle down soon. Sending best wishes your way.

Getting back to you so I can answer your question correctly. My bleeding lasted about three days.

Thankyou so much for getting back to me, I have phone my IBD nurse but they take to long to get back, it’s there in the morning I am running to to three or four times, I was only going to times before ? Then goes away but back in the evening. I don’t no if I should go to A E trying to put it of .

Hope your IBD nurse gets back to you soon, and can put your mind at rest. Reading the replies it does appear as though bleeding is fairly common. Try not to worry and I hope things settle down soon.

hemmrohoids and was told tve prep will irritate them and might have some bleeding after colonoscopy so. o thanks as fit and blood tests were normal

Have you got your notes bluegirl about having a colonoscopy?. You've probably had biopsies taken so that will explain the bleeding. It should settle within a few days but obviously if it worsens you should go to A&E. Ive been waiting a fortnight for advice from the IBD nurses, they're taking a long time because they're shortstaffed. Hope thats helpful. X

HiI have Crohn's had a colonoscopy last Tuesday no 14 in my life, 2nd in the last 6 months.

Bleeding heavy is normal I had 24 biopsies taken. I am still losing blood it's like I'm having a really bad flare up but will eventually calm experience tells me so. At the moment I am all over the place, this is just how it's been previously.

Keep taking the medication it will settle.p

Sending my love Easby, I fully understand the horrible pains and overall negative impact these flare ups do to us sufferers x

[Bluegirl1948 in reply to Easby]

Thankyou you I help me understand way I am still bleeding can you tell how long they take to heal please xxx

[Easby in reply to Bluegirl1948]

Hi there isn't a fixed timescale it's like having a really bad flare up, sometimes a couple of weeks it's even taken a month to calm down

[Bluegirl1948 in reply to Easby]

Thankyou for coming back with a answer. It has made me feel a bit better I am waiting for the IBD nurse to get back to me as well, but I think you have been more helpful. Thankyou a lot xxxx

Hi BluegirlI passed blood after my colonoscopy it's quite usual and should settle soon, the trouble with our guts is they are active all the time and the places where the biopsies have been taken take a while to heal, try not to worry, easier said than done, we all get alarmed when we bleed by all means have a word with your Doctor to put your mind at ease. I'm sure things will settle soon.

Take care and best wishes. X

Hi bluegirl. I had a colonoscopy done 2 weeks ago. Been passing just mucus alone every now and again and one time had some blood. Yellow smelly mucus. They took multiple biopsy and yes my bowels were so upset from the prep and biopsy i had days of just passing thick watery mucus and bright fed blood even 7 days after. Its settled down now.

They found absolutely nothing and i just got the biopsy back and clear also. They told me to get on with my life but i know my passing mucus with gas will be back. Everyone even a doctor was convinced i had colitis but to everyones shock it was all normal. Im totally lost to what this could be.

[Bluegirl1948]

Oh thank you for that it’s more or less what is happening to me right now . It just better to no it could last up to 7 days. Thankyou xxxx
