A member asked:

Normal colonoscopy one month ago. i noticed a bright red spot (size of a little bead) on my stool. no blood on the toilet paper. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Colonoscopy can induce small areas of bleeding that stop when a biopsy is performed and the area cauterized or an area with an angioma is traversed and a small amount of blood is produced but when the bleeding is not continuous there is no concern.
