Brief Answer:
more information please

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Please mention if you have any other illnesses like diabetes or hypertension. Do you consume adequate fibre? Do you have acidity or mucus in stools? Do you have to really strain for motion meaning hard stools?
Please get back with the answers.

Brief Answer:
fibre

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You need to increase the fibre in the diet. It may be done by increasing fruit intake or by taking artificial fibre (like fabolite.)
Mucus can be due to infection like amoebiasis..I would prescribe metrogyl tablets for my patients with similar problem.
Take adequate fluids, and you should be fine soon.
