Hi there,
Colonoscopy is considered a very safe procedure though very rarely after polup removals there can be heavy bleeding, otherwise most of the bleeding spontaneously resolves in a week or so. If you are having bleeding about six or seven times as you mentioning, kindly report to your doctor. Regards
