What Causes Stomach Ache After Colonoscopy?
I had a colonoscopy on Monday Dec 5th. I have had stomach pain on my left side ever since with
excessive gas. I am concerned that something isn't in place properly. I have had bowl movements
(small ones) . I seem to feel some better after I pass gas and burp several times. The pain is still there but not as bad after the gas passes. Whats wrong?

hi and pleased to answer you
The overall frequency of complications reported by patients following colonoscopy is 15.7%. The most common complication noted by patients is abdominal pain (5.4%) followed by digestive bleeding (2.1%). Other complications are reported:
- Complications of sedation and cardiovascular events (intestinal ischemia or myocardial necrosis).
- Complications directly related to the endoscopic gesture most often reported are perforation and hemorrhage.
In your case of abdominal pain, you can use BUSCOPAN TABLETS 10MG - 1 tablet 3 times daily at each meal during 2 days.
If pain do not disappear, you need to consult your gastroenterologist.
