Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I advise to :

- keep good hygiene of your anus
- look/observe for signs of blood/mucus
- drink more water
- be more physically involved
- take senna or psyllium supplement to soften the stool and ease bowel movements
If no changes within a few days, should contact the doctor who ran colonoscopy to evaluate the anal sphincter and local structures function.
