Keep appointment: The most concerning thing about mucus in feces is that it is a sign of inflammation, ? ulcerative colitis. Often blood is associated. The lump near the anus might be related or possibly not: potential to be hemorrhoid, abscess, rectal prolapse, or...ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. The constipation might suggest hemorrhoids worsened by straining. Keep your doctor's appointment for diagnosis.
