See your doc.: Problem sounds like it can be fixed. Very unlikely to be cancer. Potential sources - hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, arteriovenous malformations, inflammatory bowel disease. Sound like you need an exam. The fact that you have had colonoscopy at your young age means that someone has suspected something in the past. Time to follow up on that.

Discuss with doctors: You have to discuss with your doctors and if you are bleedind from the rectum 3to4 times a day, it needs to be investigated otherwise you will get anemic with constant blood loss.Cause has to be found.

You are young: It is hard to imagine what could be bleeding in your colon, at your age and not seen by colonoscopy. The only thing i could think of is av malformation since they can't be seen once decompressed from bleeding. You have to discuss it further with your doctor and your gastroenterologist as to what it could be. Good luck.
