Is Mucus In Stool A Matter Of Concern?

I suddenly have large amounts of mucus being expelled from my colon without bowel movements. A few months ago I began having a lot of very hard stool which is unusual for me. I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis a few years ago so if I have issues, it is usually diarrhea. Should I worry about this ? The mucus can be embarrassing because I have little control over expelling it.
