Mucus/blood on stool: Treatment depends on problem (do you have soft or hard stool?), duration (acute vs. Weeks?), exposures or travel, recent antibiotic use, family history of colitis, rectal trauma (or penetration of any kind)--your doctor may ask these questions. Mucus is less concerning than the blood you describe. Refer to other healthtap answers relative to your problem, but please get checked.
