Strange BM's? TMI sorry!?

Question

After i use the restroom and wipe, there is a thick, mucusy residue on the toilet paper, its usually brown or red. What is it called and should i be worried about it?

Answer 1

the thick muscusy stuff seems normal. but what im worried about is that its red. you could of had a hemorroid and now its bleeding. possbily you were consitpated? if you where it could be that. also, it could be an infection in your intestines. if the red doesnt stop i would say see a dr. good luck

Answer 2

Eat easy to digest food, don't strain on the toilet.

Answer 3

That is definitely not normal. Make an appointment with a Gastrointestinal doctor as soon as you can. What you describe indicates an infection or inflammation of your colon, and needs to be addressed. Are you experiencing any type of back pain? You could possibly have what is called Crohn's disease and the mucus/bloody discharge could be from the inflammation of your bowel. polyps and little tiny tumors could cause your symptoms as well. Your doc will most likely do a colonoscopy which is done under sedation to diagnose these types of issues. Definitely do not wait, especially since specialists are usually hard to get appointments with!

Good Luck

Answer 4

Assuming you aren't on your period; you need to get that looked at!  If you are bleeding from your r****m that can be a very serious problem in the GI tract.  Get to a doctor.
