Rectal discharge
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you are having problem with rectal discharge. This is usually a sign of constipation and hard stools. The mucous is needed to help lubricate the stool as it goes through the colon. I would recommend that you eat a high fiber diet and if needed even take additional fiber laxatives like metamucil. These additives will help bulk up the stool and help reduce the mucous formation.
