A 49-year-old member asked:
is it normal to have bleeding after a colonoscopy that's not related to a bowel movement?

Probably some: Irritation at the anal opening. If it persists, report to your GI specialist who did the colonoscopy. I hope he didn't find anything serious up there during the procedure.

Bleeding not normal: Recital bleeding is abnormal. Especially for over one year. Go see your doctor who did the colonoscopy.

The first step: Is a rectal exam. You could have a fissure or a hemorrhoid. In that case, a colonoscopy wouldn't necessarily be required.
