Mucus and blood in stool.... what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: It may be as simple as constipation and hard stools, or hemorrhoids. However, bleeding usually needs to be investigated and that can only be done by an in-person examination. Please see your doctor.
