Occasionally after going poop I wipe & it's like clear mucus. I noticed this for years. I think I'm noticing it happens more when my stools are hard. I seem to get constipated if I don't drink enough water for 1-2 days or eat enough fiber. Concerning?

For constipation/dry, harder stools, is it important to drink a lot of water when eating fiber in order to make stools softer?
1 doctor answer • 3 doctors weighed in
The first part of my stool is always hard, I don't suffer from constipation, I drink plenty of water a day, excercise & a vegan for 4 years that far exceeds recommended amounts of fiber. I take a stool softener twice a day and suffer from hemorrhoids?
