A member asked:

The past 3 or 4 days i have been having diarrhea and very painful slimy discharge when i have a bowel movement. it very uncontrollable.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucousy diarrhea: 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. At the very least stool studies & probably a sigmoidoscopy should be considered, but a more extensive evaluation may be warranted.
