A member asked:
I had on/off mucus in stool from last three months due to anal fissure. sometimes i see white, yellow, and even dark brown mucus. stool tests show only mucus nothing else. sometimes rectal cramps and burning. should i go for colonoscopy or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if offered. The colonoscopy will offer a better understanding of possible conditions affecting the colon, specifically inflammatory bowel disease and would be part of the workup.
