What Causes Brown And Yellow Stringy Mucus During Bowel Movements?
I have had stringy clear white mucus around my stool for the past few months and now I am just passing mucus without stool. It has changed the last couple of days to brown colored mucus to a yellowish white strong smelling mucus. Some floats and some sinks in the toilet. I havent had any changes to my diet lately. I have noticed some gas and bloating today also. no pain. What could cause this?
The usual reason for this is impacted hard feces causing the yellow stringy mucus only discharge through anus during bowel movements.
The another reason can be a mass or something inside or some intestinal worm.
So,you will need clinical examination by a Surgeon - per rectal examination can help to find out the exact reason.
Routine blood works and stool examination for ova,cyst and reducing substance should also be done.
You can take albendazole 400 mg as a de-worming but you will need prescription from some local doctor or GP,otherwise consult surgeon for complete treatment.
