Question 1

2nd pack of birth control first week i missed sunday pill due to late refill . in the 3rd week of same pack i missed 3 consecutively then took an active pill bled the same day of active pill bled for a week on 7th day clear thick jelly like mucus why?

Accepted Answer

: Probably vaginal secretion. Why hard to say. Looks like you have problem remembering your pills. Suggest you seek another birth control method

Question 2

this morning, i had very thick jelly like yellowish brownish mucus discharge from nose. but no other cold or infection symptoms. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Flora change.: If no fevers or significant pain , let it run , take Mucinex (guaifenesin) to keep things thin and flowing. Your body is likely rebalancing the flora in its sinuses

Question 3

hello i have been on depo for 2 years now and this morning i had clear thick jelly mucus come out with brown streak in it?

Accepted Answer

: It can be normal, to see this occasionally.  If persistent, or you are worried, and exam with your doctor is an appropriate step.

Question 4

my gyno said uterine polyps cause thick "mucus" like discharge. why? why would uterine polyps create thick jelly discharge?

Accepted Answer

Usually bloody : discharge, with uterine polyps, mucous could be from endocervical/cervical polyps.

Question 5

occasionally when i poop, i get a slimy, lumpy, mucus-like discharge from penis. it does not smell, nor hurt. it is thick and clear, just like jelly. i have had it occasionally for years now. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: This is normal in some men. Stool passing over the prostate gland and/or seminal vesicles, plus the pressure from straining at stool, can express semen or normal genital fluids. If you have any further concerns about it, see a urologist for what probably would be a reassuring evaluation.

Question 6

mucus is very thick stringy like glue from trach?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration: People who have trach are always at increased risk of infection and chronic inflammation. If there are other signs of infections (fever, lethargy, altered level of consciousness) seek immediate medical attention. But while you are waiting try increasing the fluid intake of your child. At age 2 they may not be able to adequately express thirst.

Question 7

every time i go to the bathroom i have very thick mucus come out my butt i am 34 y/r old and im very healthy i have no past medical history

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I don't know the reason for the thick mucus in your feces.  Mucus in the stool is usually a sign of intestinal inflammation.  It can be caused by sensitivities or allergies to food.  Other causes can include: ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, celiac disease, diverticulitis, gastroenteritis, bowel obstruction & hemorrhoids just to mention a few.   Even though you feel healthy, since this is not an isolated event,  it could represent a change in bowel habitus. It  is important that you advise your doctor of this change so that it can be further explored. Take care.

Question 8

hello i'm 31 years old and have been smoking since 13 for the last few months it has been. brown and black. mucus and what's clear is wormy thick like?

Accepted Answer

Smoking: You are bleeding somewhere in your respiratory system and it is showing up in your mucous. Cancer risk begins to spike at 20 pack years of smoking. If you smoke one pack per day you are now at 18 pack years.  I would advise stopping smoking immediately and getting a full exam and evaluation of your lungs.

Question 9

last normal cycle was march, april's cycle was just brown thick gooey mucus for 6 days. never got a cycle in may or june. plenty of negative tests.

Accepted Answer

Several things maybe: I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;ve already gone or are contemplating going to your doctor for a thorough checkup because that&#x27;s what you need right now.  Certainly doesn&#x27;t sound a like a pregnancy in progress.  Why the anovulatory cycles would need to discovered by imaging and a good physical checkup.

Question 10

i am experiencing tiny red jelly like mucus after medical abortion. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: The lining of the uterus can continue to shed after a medical abortion for several days aftrewards, it is an expected reaction post -procedure
