Yellow mucus on the surface of stool may be a normal phenomenon, but some chronic enteritis, intake of cold and irritating food will also appear yellow mucus.
1. Normal human colon mucosa secretes a lot of mucus, which mixes evenly with the food residue in the intestines to make the stool soft, smooth and well-formed. However, some patients with long-term constipation, due to the stool is too dry, the mucus secreted by the intestines can not be evenly mixed with the stool, it may be attached to the surface of the stool, so as to see the surface of the stool with yellow mucus.
2. Some patients with chronic enteritis or intake of cold and irritating foods will stimulate the mucous membrane of the large intestine to secrete too much mucus, which will adhere to the surface of the stool to form yellow mucus. Patients with dysentery or ulcerative colitis may also have pus in the stool.
In addition, patients with intestinal dysfunction may also experience these symptoms. The above symptoms should be noted to rule out some gastrointestinal diseases. If the symptoms are caused by gastrointestinal disorders, it is recommended that the symptoms be treated as soon as possible to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
