Brief Answer:
Yes, it can occur a little bleeding after colonoscopy .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM.
Yes it can occur a little bleeding after colonoscopy , due to the scratching of the intestine walls from the scope or due to removal of abnormal looking tissue (while taking biopsy), or due to polyps removal.
If the bleeding will go on, and the quantity will increase, then you should see a gastroenterologist. If you experience: severe abdominal pain, fever, bloody bowel movements, dizziness and weakness, again you should see a gastroenterologist. Otherwise there is nothing to be worried.
Avoid drinking alcohol. Avoid taking aspirin.
Avoid hard activities for at least 24 hours.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
