If, colonoscopy is normal then rectal bleeding may be due to piles or haemorrhoids which caused by an increase in pressure in the lower rectum from straining during bowel movements.which can cause abdominal pain and pain may extended toward testicular area.
Other symptoms may include: anal itching, anal ache or pain, especially while sitting, bright red blood on toilet tissue, stool, or in the toilet bowl; pain during bowel movements; one or more hard tender lumps near the and.
Common causes and risk factors of hemorrhoids include:
Constipation is one of the main causes of hemorrhoids. This is because constipated individuals tend to consistently strain to evacuate their bowels, increasing pressure in the rectum.
Diarrhea. Frequent diarrhea can be caused by illness, diet, disease, and the misuse of laxatives.
Genetic predisposition.
Overuse of laxatives. Frequent use of laxative may result in diarrhea, and increase your likelihood of getting hemorrhoids.
Chronic venous insufficiency. Hemorrhoids can be a sign of general weakness in the veins. Contributing factors are standing or sitting for long periods, being overweight, not exercising enough, and Smoking.
Aging. Starting in the thirties, there is a progressive weakening of the support structures in the area. Half of people who are older than 50 seek treatment for hemorrhoids.
Excessive pressure on the veins in the pelvic and rectal area causes hemorrhoids. As pressure increases, blood pools in veins and causes them to swell, stretching the surrounding tissue and forming hemorrhoids.
Excess weight, especially in the abdomen and pelvis, may increase pressure on pelvic veins.
Spending long periods of time on the toilet (like reading).
Prolonged sitting or standing. This may cause blood to pool in the anal area and increase pressure on the veins.
Frequent heavy lifting. This can cause a sudden increase of pressure in blood vessels
Sedentary lifestyle.
Lack of fiber.
Low daily intake of fluids.
Depression
Anal intercourse
Prevention of hemorrhoids includes drinking more fluids, eating more fiber, exercising, practicing better posture, and reducing bowel movement strain and time.

The following practices can help:

Drink plenty of liquids. The exact amount of water and other fluids you should drink each day varies and depends on your age, sex, health, activity level and other factors. Avoid liquids that contain caffeine (such as coffee and tea) or alcohol. These liquids may cause dehydration, which can lead to constipation.
Consider fiber supplements. Over-the-counter products such as Metamucil and Citrucel can help keep stools soft and regular. Check with your doctor about using stool softeners. If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight to 10 glasses of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, fiber supplements can cause constipation or make constipation worse. Add the fiber gradually to avoid problems with gas.
Exercise. Stay active to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting, and to help prevent constipation. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight.
Avoid long periods of standing or sitting. If you must sit for long periods, don't use an inflatable doughnut cushion to pad your chair. It can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus. Always stand and walk during your breaks at work and try to stand and walk at least 5 minutes every hour.
Avoid straining during bowel movements. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
Avoid reading or spending excess time on the toilet. If it takes you more than 3-5 minutes to have a bowel movement, then something is wrong. Reading in the bathroom is considered a bad idea, because it adds to the time one spends on the toilet and may increase the strain placed on the anal and rectal veins.
Go as soon as you feel the urge. Do not delay or try to prevent a bowel movement when the urge is present. If you wait to pass a bowel movement and the urge goes away, your stool could become dry and be harder to pass.
Train your digestive tract to have regular bowel movements. Schedule a 10-minute period to sit on the toilet at approximately the same time each day. The best time to do this is usually right after a meal.
Avoid the overuse of laxatives,
