Constipation with mucousy stools?

Make an appointment: Make sure you make an appointment to see your gastroenterologist or surgeon. If you haven't have one, a colonoscopy might be warranted. All the best!

Bowel inflammation: The presence of mucus suggests that there is some form of inflammation. The major cause of constipation is poor diet but you need to get checked out.
