Mucus is a relatively large amount of mucus in the feces.
Normally, there is a small amount of mucus and feces in the feces itself, which usually mixes evenly and cannot be observed with the naked eye. If mucus is directly visible to the naked eye, it means that there is a lot of mucus in the stool, which is not normal.
In most cases, mucus is caused by intestinal inflammation, such as amoebic dysentery, bacillary dysentery, ulcerative colitis, non-typhoidal Salmonella infections, etc., and we cannot rule out the possibility that it may be caused by malignant diseases, such as colorectal cancer.
If you find mucus stool should be timely to the hospital, usually need to do routine stool examination, colonoscopy, under the guidance of the doctor for targeted treatment.
