After Missing Episodes, Mark Consuelos Opens Up About His First Colonoscopy
Mark Consuelos has explained his recent absence from *Live with Kelly and Mark*. The reason was his first colonoscopy at age 54.
He admitted his screening was “late,” as guidelines recommend starting at age 45. His wife, Kelly Ripa, had previously emphasized the importance of such preventive health checks.
Consuelos shared humorous details from his experience. He joked about the effects of anesthesia and noticing an “attractive nurse” during the procedure.
Ripa added to the lighthearted story, confirming his results were clear. His absence had initially sparked speculation among fans, with a comedian filling in as co-host.
This is not his first recent health issue. Just months earlier, he injured his arm in his sleep during a dream, which required medical attention.
He also recalled an embarrassing incident in Italy. While taking a penalty kick for a soccer team he co-owns, he pulled a muscle and ended up being treated in his underwear.
While fans found his stories funny, they also serve as a serious reminder. For many, it highlights the importance of routine health screenings and listening to your body.
