A member asked:
Why is there fish smelling mucous in stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lubricant: Mucus helps to lubricate the passage of bowel movements, and is usually present in small quantities. If it is more noticeable than that, it is a sign of inflammation, from many possible causes, and should be checked out. See your doc if it persists beyond a few days, or is associated with blood.
