What Causes Bleeding And Clear Liquid Discharge During Bowel Movement?
My mother is 87. She did not have a bowel movement yesterday and in the night she started passing blood and a bit of a clear type liquid. She said that it looks a little like pus. She has sat with her legs up today and said that feels better to her but she still feels pressure in her bowels. She is generally healthy and only takes a thyroid pill, Ibuprofen and Tylenol at times.

dear friend
passing of blood per anum is not a good sign
please get your mother examined by a surgeon ASAP.
at her age the incidence of colonic malignancy is very high and her symptoms suggest presence of either an infection or malignency
