A member asked:
My bowel movements have consistently been slimy and mucous-like for the past 3 years. why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucusy stool: Mucus discharge occurs in up to 50% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, with or without pain. Mucus may also be produced in response to partial obstruction, chronic constipation, rectal dysfunction, infection, & even from secretory villous tumors of the rectum. At the very least, discuss your ongoing finding with your doctor who knows you best & can advise what treatment &/or testing may be needed.
