What Could Be The Reason For Loose And Dark Bowel Movements After Colonoscopy?

I had a colonoscopy today and they found 4 polyps and an ulcer. I also have low platelets. The doctor cauterised 3 of the polyps and clamped one of them . This evening my bowel movements are very watery and very dark. Any suggestions as what it could be.

Hi.
This is a sign of lower gastrointestinal bleed. Since you have low platelets as well, i would advise you to consult your gastroenterologist ASAP.
