Hello dear
Welcome back and thanks for the follow up
I understand your concern.
Bleeding could be due to post surgical complication, infection/diverticulitis, new polyp.
I would suggest to consult the your treating doctor/gastroenterologist and require detailed examination, stool tests, fecal calprotectin, repeat colonoscopy to rule out the causes.
Further action should depend on the cause.
If you have further query then I will be happy to help you.
