Anal bleeding is never normal and should always be investigated. You don't say how old you are. The more serious and sinister causes of anal/rectal bleeding generally only arise above the age of 30-40 and maybe evenb later.

However, unless your doctor is able to confirm that the cause of the bleeding is only from a minor cause - e.g. anal fissure or haemhorroids, then I suggets that you insist on a colonoscopy which is a very comprehensive test and will afford you the maximum reassurance (hopefully).

Good luck
