I had a colonoscopy today and have a a couple of question. I thought after the procedure you would not have any output right after it was done because everything had been cleaned out. I have had some real dark watery output. Also I am having some bleeding from my rectum. Do they also check that. I have a colostomy. Thanks for any information.
I wish I had answers for you, but I don't know. Is there a nurse at the hospital where you had it done at that you can call?

MEETANOSTOMATE REVIEW.
I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Any kind of bleeding after a colonoscopy should be reported to the doctor or medical staff who did the procedure. Sometimes the scope can cause a bleed but it's best to check with the hospital staff for any follow up needed.

I had several colonoscopies while I had my colostomy and they did check rectum and sigmoid colon. I had small amounts of blood after the scopes. I did not have any output until the next day. If you are having bright red blood or more than just spots I would let your doctor/nurse know. Good luck!

Hi lovely
In my experience small amounts of blood are from biopsy which are usually done while banging around in there. But yeah, if you have concerns, let them know.
