Is pain or bleeding after endoscopy or polyp removal normal?

Applies to Aurora · Screening & medical care

Minor bleeding or discomfort can occur, but chat advice cannot confirm normal recovery. Severe or increasing abdominal pain, substantial bleeding or clots, black stools, fever, or persistent vomiting require immediate medical assessment. For severe bleeding, fainting, or breathing difficulty, seek emergency care. Bring procedure records if readily available, but do not delay care to find them.
