What Causes Mucus In Stool And Abdominal Pain?
Hi, I have currently been experiencing mucus in stool for about 2months now. First i had abdominal pain which only lasted the first month and now just mucus in stool. I consulted my GP in regards to this and he put me on antibiotics called metrogyl now 7 days later after antibiotics mucus is still present. I was just wondering what should be done nect and if you have any idea on what I could be experiencing. Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
IF metrogyl has not subsided the mucus , there has to be a reason.
IT can be found only on colonoscopy examination. The probable causes are a mucous secreting tumor , chronic abscess ( not seen commonly now-a-days), polyp and so on.
Later on CT scan abdomen may also be required.
