@nicole19 Talking to your doctor at your upcoming appointment sounds like a perfect idea!

Here is what Mayo Clinic says, affirming this as your next step. I want to draw your attention to suggestions that will help you talk to your doctor. These are things like changes in the amount of mucus you are noticing along with other clues to help.

- Mucus in stool: A concern?

Do you have other symptoms, maybe diarrhea, bloody mucus or having belly pain at the same time? Your doctor may also ask, do you notice other bathroom habit changes. Has anything with your diet changed?

@jlharsh I haven’t really had any other symptoms, like the ones you mentioned. When I had my cycle last month, on maybe the last day of my period there was bloody mucus hanging down from me. I don’t know if it was in my front or rear.
I haven’t really noticed my stool be coated in mucus, but there’s been maybe a few times since late last year that it’s looked like there was mucus on it or like something slimy was on it. Usually that’s not the case though.

I don’t know of anything that changed in my diet.
