How would you approach this ?

Usually, a gastroenterologist is the person doing the colonoscopy so would know right away what was seen and what was biopsied during the procedure. Every time I have had a colonoscopy (I am in my mid 50s and have had 3 so far), my gastroenterologist came to me afterwards before getting dressed, to tell me what was found and next steps. My first was back in 2012 and this is what was done since then. I had a polyp removed and needed to go back every 5 years. They hand me a piece of paper also summarizing what the doctor did and what, if anything, was found.

What was the reason your husband had a colonoscopy, how old is he, what type of doctor did the procedure and where was it done? Usually, you see a gastroenterologist before having a colonoscopy for evaluation. I also saw a gastroenterologist due to stomach issues and they did an exam, sent me for bloodwork and ultrasound before moving to endoscopy and HIDA scan of gallbladder function.
