A member asked:
What does it mean when you poop but it is only a mucusy substance coming out (no stool) and it smells bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus or ? 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. But you're not sure if the substance seen is pus or ? So at very least blood/stool studies ; further evaluation is warranted.
