A member asked:

I have been having normal textured stools however when i wipe its like a jelly mucus? do you think i need to see my doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not yet...: Passage of ano-rectal mucous in the absence of other symptoms, is usually a benign symptom seen in patients with ibs (irritable bowel syndrome). If you are having severe diarrhea, anorectal pain or blood in the stools you should see your doctor.
