I've been naesous the past couple days and noticed mucus in my stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal finding: The rectum and anus contain mucus glands that increase production when there is irritation or a bout of diarrhea. As long as this subsides and there is no blood you needn't worry. If you are concerned, you can always have things checked out at your doctor or urgent care center
