Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For about the past 8 weeks I have been having a mucus-like discharge from my rectum. For the first few weeks I just thought it was bowel residue since I only noticed it when wiping from a bowel movement. About two weeks ago I determined it was a thing in itself. At that time the mucus was clear, whitiesh with red streaks. Now if is yellow/orange and comes in globs and streaks. Ideas and suggestions.
