A member asked:

I have a clear liquid discharge from my rectum and is sticky. it causes extreme discomfort and a feeling of wetness constantly.what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends....: You could have a fissure (tear in the anal canal) or an infection, especially if you have had unprotected intercourse. A fistula is a connection from the inside of the rectum to the outside and you will drain mucousy stool. You require an evaluation and a rectal examination.
