Article Synopsis
- Colonoscopy is generally safe but can lead to complications, with abdominal pain being the most common and acute pancreatitis being rare.
- A case study of a 51-year-old woman revealed she developed acute pancreatitis two hours after her colonoscopy, initially presenting with melena.
- The patient received conservative treatment, including bowel rest and fluids, with her symptoms resolving within days; it's important for patients to be aware of this potential complication prior to the procedure.
