A member asked:

Normal colonoscopy 2 months ago. noticed some blood on stool (not sure) but blood on toilet paper when wiping, and some stool. need colonoscopy again?

No: Probably an internal hemorrhoid, fissure, or something else. A negative colonoscopy does not need repeating for 5-10 years in general. You may still need to have persistent rectal bleeding checked out at some point, but you won't need a colonoscopy.
