Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
You should repeat colonoscopy since there is no other method to detect the site of bleeding. There may be polyp or broken vessel which can be also treated colonoscopically. If nothing is found then clotting disorders should be evaluated.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
