A. well, it could mean a lot of things. if you are a man over the age of 50 - could mean colon cancer. could mean you ate a chicken bone that scratches your colon. if you have a diarrhea - could mean some sort of a disease like cholera or something. it's a symptom, here is a web page that talkes about it:

A few days later the pain went away but was still bleeding ever time I had bowl movement!I can bleed up to 4 days at a times sometimes. I have been taking HC supp. and it seems to have stoped the bleeding and pain!
A. It is normal that after a polyp removal you will continue bleeding some more. However, if you feel like there is a lot of bleeding, and/or you are not feeling well, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to stop the bleeding or look for the source of bleeding.
