I have been straining to defecate & having incomplete evacuation since 2 weeks. i noticed small drops of blood on toilet paper, on the surface of stool & some drops mixed with mucus that falls out of my anus a few times. is this serious?

Common rectal issue.: The lower GI system produces mucus. You can pass some blood with staining. You need to look at your diet and possible allergies. Your symptoms can be serious, but a good exam with your doctor will be helpful.
