How Long Does Diarrhea Persist After A Colonoscopy?
Hello, I am a 66yr old female who had a colonoscopy done on Friday 10th Feb. 2 polyps removed and a pouch of diverticulitis found. No problems with bleeding but bowels still watery and after I eat I have to pass a motion. How long will this go on, please and should there be any associated pain not in my rectum but (R) side--around area of appendix (removed) and over top of hip. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* The diarrhea is not due to colonoscopy per se, but it is following the diverticulitis.
* I recommend proper hydration care, GI specific antibiotic as Metronidazole with probiotic with lacto bacillus content for best results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
