A member asked:

I have white discharge, diarrhea and nausea with stomach pains. my stomach feels full and hard. may be a cyst? or something more permanent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation in order: 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.
