Brief Answer:
Colonoscopy should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

You should have a colonoscopy as a next step. Please note that such symptom can be sometimes caused by a lump in the large intestine. Other possible symptoms are weight loss, bloating, constipation.
Please also note that the risk of such lump significantly increases over the age of 50. And CT is not a test which can rule it out.
So please consult your doctor and get scheduled for colonoscopy.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
