Hi 

I had a colonoscopy due to bleeding in my bowel, my mum died of cancer and I haven't been feeling great really tired, loosing weight, they took some biopsy and sent them away and I've had staples put in, for a few days I can't pass wind and have bad stomach pains and feeling dizzy, I'm going to gp tomorrow is this normal 3-4 days later feeling worse today....

 

  • Hello 123-456-72

    Did you manage to get hold of your GP today? Hopefully you've been able to speak with someone who was able to offer you some advice. 

    We know that sometimes people can experience some pain and discomfort for a few days after this procedure. Hopefully things will settle for you soon. 

    I hope that you have your biopsy results soon and that the team is able to give you some reassurance. If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Best wishes,
