i had a colonoscopy yesterday and they said i have some inflamation at the bottom of my colo, they took biopsis but i was just wondering what this could mean? I was a bit out of it to ask her! I have been feeling generally unwell since before xmas and bad fatigue, i have had all the blood tests which came back normal, last month my eye was sore and the eye doctor said it was episcliritis. I have to see my gp in 3 weeks but was just a bit concerned about the inflamation, i have had a change of bowel habits, runs to constipated for 5 or 6 days but no blood. Thanks for reading this
Hi Sue. It is quite normal procedure to take biopsies during a colonoscopy. If inflammation is found it can possibly mean colitis or crohns disease. they can diagnose this by examining biopsies of tissue taken from your bowel, & then treat you with meds appropriately. quite normal, do not worry. its just to pinpoint any bowel conditions that need treatment. Your symptoms do sound alot like colitis ( i have it & am successfully controlled with meds). hope this helps xx
Thankyou for the reply
Yea, most likely you may have IBD. Such as UC or Crohn's disease. The biopsy can help them figure it out. I have CD and that is how they figured it out. Doesn't have to be cancer.
