What Causes Blood In Stool Post Colonoscopy?

Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
I think it would be unusual if this were related to some type of cancer. I suspect that this might be due to some internal hemorrhoids which may be coming and going from time to time causing your symptoms.
I would suggest that you try a fiber supplement on a daily basis as this might help soften your stool's and avoid aggravation of any hemorrhoids which may still be present.
You could use any over-the-counter fiber supplements such as Metamucil and I would recommend that you take it on a daily basis for at least several weeks. This may lead to gradual improvement in resolution of your symptoms.
If you continue to have bleeding however I would recommend that you revisit the issue with your specialist. A repeat colonoscopy might be considered but I doubt you will need that type of procedure.
Thank you again for sending your question

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Thank you for the follow up.
First of all, sorry for the delayed response due to my work schedule.
Considering that you had a colonoscopy so recently: cancer is extremely unlikely in your case. I would continue the current remedy for the hemorrhoids which are the most likely cause of the bleeding. Again to reassure you I do not see any evidence of colon cancer in this case.
Thanks again for sending your question.
