A member asked:
Is mucous in your stool a bad thing? ive had it for 3 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor if worsen: A small amount of mucus in stool is usually nothing to worry about. Stool normally contains a small amount of mucus if you notice an increased amount of mucus in stool, consult your doctor, especially if this is associated with blood or any symptoms of an infection, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distention, and tenderness to name a few.
