A member asked:

Anus mucus dischargr diet related?

Dr. Johnny Green answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Not usually: The colon and rectum make mucus normally but an intact anal sphincter mechanism holds the mucus in so you don't see it. Passing visible mucus suggests that the rectum is irritated or the anal canal/sphincter is not closing normally.
