Please go see a Doctor, this sounds serious. Im scared for you and the sooner you check the better. It may not be anything to serious and I hope not but in any case you should go ahead and get it checked.

You may have internal hemorrhoids that you can't feel but would cause bright red bleeding. If you're not having any other symptoms and it doesn't return I would wait and follow up for your 5 year check up. If it returns or you experience any other symptoms, then go for it. You and I both know the worst part of any colonoscopy is the prep. A little prevention is the best defense and it is a small price for a little piece of mind.

Bright red blood is a sign of bleeding in the lower bowel/rectum/anal areas. Dark blood is a sign of bleeding in the upper GI (Stomach/Small intestine). You may have an internal hemorhoid, or you may have another polyp. You won't know until the doctor does another colonoscopy. I hope everything works out. Good luck to you! & Best wishes!
