What Causes Blood Mucus In Stools And Diarrhea?
Question: I have had diarrhea for about a week. Today I have had 3 bowel movements that are all mucus with blood. I have a dr appointment tomorrow but I'm freaking out! Amount is a lot more than attached picture.
Brief Answer:
Causes to feces with mucus and blood...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your medical history and the photo you uploaded. I have noticed blood in your feces. It was red and mixed up with your feces.
I'd like to know if you are also having:
- fever?
- hemorrhoids? have you touched any bumped on your anus?
- vomiting/nausea?
The presence of blood might be associated to infection of bowels of hemorrhoids. That's why physical examination of anus for presence of hemorrhoids and abdominal ultrasound together with culture of feces are necessary to determine the right diagnosis.
You can discuss this further with your doctor tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I advise to:
- take plenty of fluids (water, juice,etc.)
- eat a hard-boiled egg with oregano to stop diarrhea
- take otc probiotics
- take otc tasectan or zinc supplementation to stop diarrhea
- keep good hygiene especially when preparing foods
Hope it was of help! Wish fast recovery! Let me know if I can assist you further!

Brief Answer:
Analysis of feces is highly recommended...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
At this point, I think it might be due to hemorrhoids. However, to rule out bowel infection, I ask to run culture of feces for pathologic bacteria/candida and to do colonoscopy for further evaluation.
Wish fast recovery!
