A member asked:
Rectal sweating for 1yr. be ts confirms diverticula in sigmoid colon, colonoscopy shows no masses, blockages etc.could it be a helminthic condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you mean mucous?: Anal discharge is most likely proctitis, seborrhea or anal fissure. Have you been cleared of std? Helminthic infections usually do not have rectal discharge. A stool test for ova and parasites and blood work could rule out a parasitic infestation. Colonoscopy may well have identified them as well.
