Accepted Answer

Irritable bowel synd: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition in which there are recurrent episodes of stomach pain associated with a change in stool consistency (diarrhea and/or constipation).  The pain associated with IBS is more likely to occur after eating and typically improves after a bowel movement.

Question 2

long black string like things in my stool ? mucus watery stools no moving things, one time i found a hard segment like thing? stool swabbing shows non

Accepted Answer

Stools: These are probable undigested or partially digested food fragments. If you continue to have mucous and loose watery stools it would be a good idea to see a doctor and submit to a stool exam along with providing a full detailed history and an exam of yourself. This cannot be solved over the internet. Good luck.

Fish odor : Most vaginal discharge are odorless if you have a fishy odor discharge is from  possible bacterial vaginosis.

Question 4

is mucus in stool normal after an enema?

Accepted Answer

Mucus on stool: Mucus discharge occurs in up to 50% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, with or without pain. Mucus may also be produced in response to partial obstruction, chronic constipation, rectal dysfunction, infection, &amp;even from secretory villous tumors of the rectum, among others.

Question 5

does hemrroids cause blood and mucus in stool?

Accepted Answer

Blood yes: Hemorrhoids can bleed - as many internal hemorrhoids to.  Internal hemorrhoids are inside and only sometimes come outside.  These usually don't hurt but can bleed.  Most people with painful hemorrhoids are external hemorrhoids.  If you are having mucus, however, there could be something more going on and a rectal exam and possible colonoscopy are critical to further evaluate for other diseases.

Question 6

what diseases are associated with anal discharges and mucus in stool?

Accepted Answer

See your: Doc for an eval. You might need a colonoscopy to tell what is going on. It could be nothing serious to a colitis or other more rare problem. Don't cross a bridge till you get there

Question 7

is it normal for a child to have mucus in stool after using an enema?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps...: Enemas are almost never used in my pediatric practice, so the 1st concern is what  triggered the need for an enema? I would never recommend an enema for your child unless specifically ordered by your pediatrician. The type of enema used may have caused the mucous--or perhaps this mucous was due to the irritant effect of whatever made the use of an enema necessary. If bloody, call your doctor now.

Question 8

slightly pinkish white mucus in stool, had blood test everything was normal ?

Accepted Answer

Stool tests needed: you need a stool test.blood test would check for anemia from bleeding or a systemic infection but you need a stool test.

Question 9

i saw bloody mucus in stool yesterday. is there something wrong with my digestive system?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is never normal to see blood in your stool. This is a common symptom of proctitis or hemorrhoids but further evaluation is needed with a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscooy.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Working with your MD: You are doing the right things.  Keep the dialogue with your MD.  He/She is working you up appropriately.
