Hi all,
I recently had a colonoscopy done as I was referred by the doctor for change in bowel movements and some blood in the stool.I am 23 years of age & vegetarian I got a blood test carried out by the doctor to see if I was lacking in anything that could be causing my bowel movements to be different. When going to the doctor I had been like this for about a year.

I got the colonoscopy done a week ago and I am still awaiting the results as there were two pollups removed on my left side and I have to go again in 12 weeks as my right side was still blocked. I was surprised but very nervous about getting my results. 

after having the pollups removed I felt extremely tender on my stomach for 3 days after and it seemed to go away by I still have the issues I had previously to having the procedure done. I am just wondering if it is normal to get pollups this young and to feel extremely tender / almost bruised on the inside of my stomach after. Also I was wondering if I have to go back to get checked more regularly now after finding pollups? The doctor didn't really give much info at all, and because I was sedated for the procedure I can't remember everything that was said.

I am usually one of these people that try putting things off to see if they go away but i felt like it was constantly on my mind and not improving.
