A member asked:

I have serious mucus in my stool, sometimes makes my buttocks itch after passing, what is causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IBD ?: Dehydration and constipation can cause mucus from the colon to leave the body. This gives the stool the appearance of increased mucus. Increased mucus can also be a sign of illness, especially if inflammation occurs and the mucous membrane breaks down as we see in IBD. See a gi specialist.
