Is Bruising Normal After Colonoscopy?

Hi there, I was released from the hospital today. I was hospitalized for colitis for almost five days. I had a colonoscopy done on Saturday 9-10-11 and just within the last few days I have bruising in my lower abdomen and now a few new ones on my middle abdomen, not sure if this is normal or not after

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking, your query being appreciated, if this is he sudden onset of bruising then it is not normal one but it could be due to hypersensitivity reaction, and it could be due to some drugs, it may be due to emotional stress, condition could be self limiting and will come around on its own, if the symptoms persist then it may requires clinical examination, hope this information helps.
