A member asked:
Feels like need to have a bm but only gas/mucus comes out. had a bm this am that had a lot of mucus. first day of this. urgent or wait to clear up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus: If you have the urge but are unable to pass stool, try inserting a glycerin rectal suppository, dulcolax rectal suppository or a gentle Fleet enema. If still unable to pass stool and especially if you're experiencing abdominal cramps or a distended abdomen, you should have an abdominal and rectal examination to check for impaction. If these symptoms aren't present it's safe to wait a day.
