Positive fit, negative colonoscopy

Hats21

I'm a 34 year old female who was referred for a colonoscopy after a positive fit test. I experience quite regular bleeding when wiping and can sometimes see blood in stool. My colonoscopy found nothing suspicious so now I am confused about what could be causing the bleeding. Has anyone else experienced this? Was a cause ever found and are there further tests that you think might help identify the cause? 
 

many thanks

    In my case it was piles. That or a fissure would probably be the most common explanations.

    Has your doctor suggested that there is concern about the cause? I would imagine they would have told you if further tests were necessary. Generally, if bleeding is the only symptom and a colonoscopy rules out cancer, IBD, diverticulitis, etc, there isn't any real cause for worry.
