A member asked:
Is anal mucous normal or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A little is normal: Your rectum and colon make mucus all the time. Usually it is a thin layer on the stool you don't see. Having mucus leak suggests inflammation causing excess mucus creation or incomplete seal causing leakage between bowel movements.
