Brief Answer:
You should check red blood count

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
if you are feeling well and there is no paleness or dizziness then I don't think this is an emergency. You should first check you red blood count and if this is normal then most common cause are hemorrhoids and polyps. If red blood count is decreased then you should do colonoscopy. Wish you good health. Regards. feel free to ask.
