A member asked:
I've been having a white/yellow watery fluid in toilet water after/when i defecate. would this be mucous? is there anything i need to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus or pus?: 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 stool studies, anal/rectal inspection are appropriate. Peri-anal abscesses & fistulas may need urgent attention.
