You should see a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy.
Do you have hemorrhoids? Have you tried fiber supplements such as metamucil?

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.
