if you are in the older age group, ie over 50 as I am too, it is always better to go first to the GP, people can give very confusing info online, and the age ranges are vast, so what is a symptom of something benigh for some may not be for everyone.

From what I know sometimes it's also normal when you're slightly consipated and your stool isn't moving but you're not so consipated to where gas and the mucus discharge still passes threw. It maybe your body trying to keep your stool moving and keeping it from stopping and clogging you up.

I see this was a year ago, but if it's smelly, I have a suspicion that it may be what my child has experienced. He was diagnosed with encoparesis (sp?). He has chronic constipation, which eventually stretches the anus and causes nerve damage. You may not know it's leaking until afterward, since your nerves do not sense it right away. From what I understand, the leakage comes from around the lodged feces, which is why it smells. I'm not a Dr, but I do have a medical background (radiology). I researched until I found this info, and I then presented it to his pediatrician. After a rectal examination, the Dr confirmed that it was indeed a correct diagnosis. Treatment included an enema from time to time, daily Miralax, sitting on the toilet after every meal (20-30min after the meal) for 5-10min. Eventually, your canal is "retrained" and as long as you stay on top of it, can be cured. It does take several months to get to a point of seeing any progress (especially in hard-headed kids!), but it's worth the hard work. If you are still searching for answers, push for a rectal exam. If that's inconclusive, push for an X-ray (specifically a flat and upright abdomen) or even an abdomen/pelvis CT. Radiology can find things when physical exams cannot and can avoid a pointless invasive surgery! I really hope this helps...I can't begin to fathom dealing with this as an adult, but- there is light at the end of this tunnel!!
Best wishes,

I'm a 19 year old female and I am very frequently constipated. I have been for a few days until this morning I finally was able to go and it was very loose. Now I keep having an urgent feeling to go and every time I do all it is is mucus, no poop.

maybe it can just be weak rectal muscles. maybe ask your doctor if there is a such thing, or treatment.

Thank you for being so honest about this entire pain in the butt we endure with rectal muscus. Mine always occurs when I am stressed. I too am gluten intolerant and have had fissures for years but they do not go hand in hand with this mucus issue. I believe it is stress related we get the muscus produced in our lower intestines as stomach acid & the form of that acid changes to a thicker substance once it hits our rectal canal. Mine is almost clear unless constipated & never has an odor I have a stressful job & home life. Go on a high fiber gluten free regimen for the rest of your life if it is a stressful one like mine & never stick your finger up there as a habit cause of the muscus thickness being stuck cause a prolapsed rectum can occur. I assume anything at all acidic is 1/4 of he recipe our lower intestine gets going for us strong people with this muscus issue

You should try digestive enzimes with an anti inflammatory like curcumin with your meals and L-glutamine with L-glutatonine for heal and cleanse I have suffered at the hands of doctors for 15 years and have tried a lot and at 34 years of age now I find great relief from this and also I added the best live cultures I could get, I use the brand solgar for everything.
