I sometimes see some jellylike mucous when i wipe after using the bathroom (stool). can that be cancer? how is ca of the intestines/bowel diagnosed?

New finding of mucus: 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, discuss your new finding with your doctor who knows you best & can advise what treatment &/or testing is needed.

Agree with Dr. C: Talk to your doctor about getting a test for blood in stool, FIT test.
