What Causes Chronic Constipation Along With White Mucus Discharge During Bowel Movement?
I have been constipated for 6 days and am always regular like clockwork. Very little has been coming out. I took some ex lax for 2 days and didn t help. Just went again, thought I took a big poop, but when I looked in the toilet there was a white mucous substance and nothing else! I have been eating a lot so where is it going?

What Causes Chronic Constipation Along With White Mucus Discharge During Bowel Movement?
Thanks for contacting healthcare magic. You have problem of constipation with mucus stool that indicate mostly intestinal abnormality. In Cohn s disease presence of constipation and bloting in abdomine is common. In ulcerative colitis there is presence of abdominal discomfort and pain with constipation may present. Intestinal infection is common cause for abdominal problems. Irritable bowel syndrom may lead to mucus in stool and constipation. You have to do stool examination for further diagnosis. Drink more water. Eat fiber food more. Avoid gaseous food like cabbage, cauliflower etc. Wish you a good health. Take care. Thanks.
