Purulent, mucus bloody stool what is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like: Colitis either infectious or inflammatory bowel but can't rule out a polyp or tumor. You need to get a colonoscopy after a full history and physical exam. See a colon and rectal surgeon for your workup and do it soon! before things get acutely worse.
