Hi,

It is interesting to know that you had colonoscopy one month back.
And now you have developed difficulty in passing urine, bloating and stomach pain.
To answer your first question, yes it is possible to have some discomfort during colonoscopy as the gas needs to be insufflated to pass the colonoscope. But this pain and mild GI disturbance usually passes off withing next 24 hours.
To have urinary problems after one month is surely not connected with colonoscopy one month back.
Hence consult an Urologist for clinical evaluation, examination and relevant investigations for proper diagnosis and get treated accordingly.
Also get investigated for bloating and pain in abdomen with tests of stool, urine and blood, X-ray of abdomen in standing position and Ultrasonography.
All these will give the proper diagnosis and allow a proper management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
