Hi,
Bleeding instils may be caused by many reasons. Common reason is haemorhoides. Other includes fissures, polyp or many another local disease.
If there is no major bleeding (like more then a spoon or two, or that would make you faint or exhausted, its mostly not serious issue.
You can wait for three weeks. But if you are losing lot of blood or you feel unwell then you may need to go to ER for urgent assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
