Rubber band ligation: A simple internal hemorrhoid like you describe can usually be handled in the office with rubber band ligation this is a simple and effective office procedure . See a colon and rectal surgeon hope this helps.

Yes: See a proctologist, you may have a fissure or recurrent internal hemorrhoid that can be treated.

Hemmoroids: These are veins. Internal plexus above rectum with no sensation. They will bleed brite red, no pain. External ones clot and hurt and at times we do incise and drain. Mucous means some type of irritation. Need physician exam of rectum .We use short anoscope to examin. If have external roads almost always have internal ones. Dr. Will check for rectal pathology.

May need surgery: The hemorrhoids are causing the bleeding. But the persistent drainage of mucus from the anus probably isn't from hemorrhoids. There could be a fistula or infection there. You can increase fiber intake and use laxatives to avoid constipation, which may help. But the best option is for a surgeon (especially colorectal surgeon) to look at it. There are procedures they do to fix the problem.
