G'day. My issue is the bleeding persists after colonoscopy. Today is the 4th day. I was slightly feverish and experienced cramps and pain the first day/night after the procedure. I do have mild haemorrhoid issue.

See the colonoscopist ASAP - you might have a micro-perforation.
Hello,
You should contact your physician if bleeding and pain persists. Risks of colonoscopy include bleeding, especially if a large polyp has been removed and perforation.

The doctor who performed the colonoscopy should be able to confirm that the bleeding is from hemorrhoids and nothing else. If the cause of bleeding is hemorrhoids and you wish to have this addressed, then potential treatments include hemorrhoid banding or surgical hemorrhoidectomy. Again, whomever performed the procedure may be able to offer these treatments so I would start by contacting that physician. If he/she cannot help with hemorrhoids then you may need to seek advice from another doctor who does.
Best of luck.

Fever and cramps after colonoscopy usually indicate an infection.
