Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Your report is within normal limit.
Some mucus in stool is thought to be quite common. Everyone’s intestine produces mucus to lubricate intestines and some of this mucus can be passed at some point in bowel movements.
Visible increase in mucus in stools should be duly noted. It could be necessary to look for medical treatment if the mucus is excessive.
So if mucus is not in excess, there is no need to worry.
Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any other inquiries.
Regards
