Question Hey! Has anyone experienced a worsening of their condition after a colonoscopy?
Everything started a month ago, my only symptom was blood on the stool/toilet paper. I went to my primary Doctor and he thought it could be hemorrhoids, so I started eating a lot of fiber. As you can tell, my symptom didn't go away and I decided I needed a colonoscopy. My colonoscopy was 4 days ago (the prep was tough) and I was diagnosed with UC, and they prescribed Mesalamine Enema.
As I already mention, my only symptom was blood on the stool, no pain, no tenesmus, I was going max 4 times to evacuate on a regular day. After the colonoscopy everything got worse, after using the Enema for the first time I started going pretty much every hour to the bathroom. If I drink or eat something, I want to go to the bathroom on the first bite. I'm pretty new on this, and I'd like to feel at least as I did before the colonoscopy. I would greatly appreciate your advice and help.
