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.
