A member asked:
I have mucas coming out of my rectum/perineum. i am healing from a perineal tear. does this indicate healing is happening?

Glands: Mucous is typically secreted by the mucous glands in the area. If there is a tear then the glands can produce more mucous which could potentially help protect the area from further damage and therefore potentially speed up healing.
