Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. Small stain of blood with normal stool color, normal urine flow and color is nothing to worry about. Colonoscopy exam 2 months ago on itself can't cause this spot or stain. I would suggest wait and see and if there is any repetition of such episode or change in color of stool to bright red or change in streaming or color of urine then get it analysed. For now just good bowel habits and balanced diet rich in fiber will do.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
