You can swallow air, called aerophagia, which can give you a bit, and make it feel swollen. However if it's swelling a lot, I'd have it checked out.

The colonoscopy probably pushed some gas around in your system and you're seeing the result - give it a few days to resolve.

I had one back in February and had no idea just how "windy" I would be after. That's all it is probably.

Probiotics will help renew the flora in your gut, which will somewhat reduce the bassoon solo.
If you are in pain or observe anything that's the wrong color, etc--call the doctor--ASAP!

Was the swelling after the colonoscopy? I believe they blow air into your colon during colonoscopies. Are you passing a lot of gas? Did you get some sort of post operative instruction sheet from your doctor?

However, if you had some sort of damage from the colonoscopy, it could cause an infection or irritation and swelling. It could even cause serious problems, so don't ignore it.
