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, ; even from secretory villous tumors of the rectum.

very fatigue,passing light brown with black spots stool on today,only making bowel movements every other day,strong smelling dark yellow urine.

General symptoms...: There are a lot of things that can cause these general symptoms.  If your urine is concentrated and you are constipated, make sure you are drinking LOTS of fluids.  If the black spots have any red in them, you should be evaluated.  Sometimes Pepto Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) can cause both constipation and black spots in stool.  If you have a fever or any other focused symptoms, see a doctot.

Question 9

my poop had spots, it something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Poop w/spots: So your poop had spots. Unfortunately, without more detail, it's difficult to determine what's going on. Stool consistency reflects what you've eaten, so it's softer w/more fiber. Undigested food is often visible eg corn. Definite red flags (worrisome issues) would be black tarry, ribbon flat or pencil thin stool (think Play-Doh effect). Maroon (not 5) or reddish colored stool is also bad news.

Question 10

what to do if my poop had some red spots?

Accepted Answer

Is it blood?: If you think the spots are blood, or even if you're not sure, you need to see your doctor to get it evaluated. There are many potential sources of digestive tract blood loss, but some of them are important to diagnose early. Good luck.
