Can injury to the Vagus nerve happen during a colposcopy?

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have Crohn's and it has been in remission for 8 years. Up until 3 years ago, I had colonoscopies every year. A few months after my last colonoscopy, I began experiencing Vasovagal syncope. I now live with this condition and it has had a significant impact on my life. Could thus have been a result of damage during a past colonoscopy?
