Risks of the Procedure
Bleeding may occur following any colonoscopy,
but is more common if a biopsy is done or a polyp is removed. A small amount of blood after a bowel movement is
not unusual, but a larger amount may signify a more serious problem.
You should call your doctor or return to the hospital if this happens. Bleeding may require another colonoscopy,
surgery, or other procedure to control it.
