See surgeon : Cannot determine cause without looking. Could be as simple and innocent as hemorrhoids but too little information provided. Why was colectomy performed? Was it complicated? Has patient seen surgeon back in follow up. Recommend return to surgeon who performed operation. Also would suggest seeing a gastroenterologist.

Hemorrhoids?: Many causes for rectal bleeding. Best is to get checked by GI doctor.
