Colonoscopy tear?: The colonoscopy could have made a tear in the colon that causes bleeding. Sometimes they took a biopsy that can bleed. However, if bleeding is bright, often "closer to the anus" like hemorrhoid. Need to call the doctor that did the procedure to tell him or her. They can help best. Could be small or big side effect from procedure. The doctor wants to know your experience.
