A colonoscopy is the most comprehensive test and I suggest that you ask for one unless the doctor is able to give you a definite diagnosis stating that the cause is minor.
You should get this medically checked out because it is not normal. Type in rectal bleeding to google/yahoo to ascertain symptoms, treatments etc etc. At 23 years old you are more likely to suffer the more minor causes such as haemorrhoids, anal fissure etc but there are very rare cases of the more sinister diseases occurring at younger ages.
