Mucus From The Anus, Diarrhea. Cause?
hi, i have had this problem for 2 months now, everyday i am getting a jelly like substance coming out from my anus when i go to the toilet, it is causing me to be uncomfortable and causing me to sometimes have diarrhea and making me feel like i need to go to the toilet more. There is no blood in it just this jelly like stuff, its sometimes a little yellow or sometimes just clear. I hate going to the doctors and scared about what i might have to have done to get it sorted, if you could let me know what this is and how it would be treated that would be very helpful , thank you.

hi, there is nothing to get scared to go the doctors. you have simple gastrointestinal infection, which is causing dysentery. take antibiotics for 7 days, it will be cured. afterwards take probiotics and multivitamins. all the best.
