You should see a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy.
Do you have hemorrhoids? Have you tried fiber supplements such as metamucil?
Have you gone to visit your doctor yet?
Hemorrhoids are the most common source for bleeding, but if you have not had a recent colonoscopy or you are not up to date on colon cancer screening, then a colonoscopy would be indicated.
