From hemorrhoids: If the only finding on colonoscopy is internal hemorrhoids, it's fairly certain the blood in stool is from bleeding internal hemorrhoids. The condition is painless. You can often reduce bleeding by eating a high fiber diet, drinking adequate fluids and avoid straining at stool. Avoid constipation.
