What Causes Bloody Mucus Discharge From Rectum And Diarrhea?
Brief Answer:
Monitor only for now and report any other symptoms!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this bloody mucus coming from the rectum. This could be related to a minor wound sustained during stools. These would normally resolve spontaneously. This is why i will recommend that you observe the stool sonly to see if this will continue or not. If t doesn't, then there is no need to be bothered. If it does, I will recommend that you get a rectal exam and probably a colonoscopy. Between, when was the last time you got a screening colonoscopy?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
