A member asked:
Is it normal to have a mucus like substance come out when i have bowel movements? i am a very constipated person.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's normal: Many people pass mucus during bowel movements and it's nothing to worry about. As far as the constipation is concerned, stool softeners, fiber-rich foods and increased fluid intake can help the problem. If you notice blood in your stool, weight loss, abdominal pain or continued constipation, you should see your doctor.
