What Is The Immense Pressure In My Rectum?

Yesterday I felt an immense pressure in my rectum. I then felt a burst and thought I may have had an accident. When I went to the washroom I had a very large amount of mucus that had discharged from my rectum. It did not smell like feces it smelled like infection. It continued to happen for a bit feeling as though I needed to have a bowel movement but was just this mucus. I have lost my appetite and have not had a bowel movement since. I still feel the pressure and feel as though as I am sitting on a golf ball.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of immense pressure in rectum, then felt a burst and thought of an accident hence visited the bathroom to find the escape of smell-less mucus and this repeated, with a feeling of going for passing the bowel again and again, feeling as though sitting on a golf ball...
The most probable causes can be:
Procto-colitis
Cancer of rectum or sigmoid colon.
This can be diagnosed by the following:
Tests of blood and stool.
Sigmoido and colonoscopy.
Biopsy
CT scan of the abdomen.
All these with a clinical evaluation, examination and cor-relationship with the reports will get you the correct diagnosis so that a proper treatment can be instituted which may be Metronidazole and probiotics in case of colitis, surgery in case of cancer.
