What Causes Mucus And Blood In Stool?

I am passing large globs of mucus for two days. Very painful abdomen. A little blood from rectum, but I think it is from hemerroids. The mucus was firstly pinkish reddish then changed to brown and now is yellow to clear. I had 3 days diarreah prior to this. I am female, 53, 5'4"", 120 lbs.

Never mind...I have no credit cards. I don't have any way to pay.

Hello dear,

The questions asked in this forum are not charged. Please feel free to ask your queries.

Presence of mucous and blood in stool along with pain in abdomen is attributed to either infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.
Certain investigations like complete blood count, estimation of serum electrolytes, stool examination & Ultrasound scan of abdomen & Pelvis will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause.

Presenting with such symptoms, I usually treat my patients with:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Lactobacillus preparations.
4. Antibiotics like Ofloxacin+ Ornidazole preparations, OR based on culture & sensitivity reports to control the causative organism.
5. Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S) for maintaining the hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
6. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
7. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

So, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist & start treatment as advised.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
