Mucus or pus?: 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, anal/rectal inspection are appropriate. Peri-anal abscesses & fistulas may need urgent attention.
