What should I do if there is a lot of white mucus in my stool?
Disease description:
I had constipation a few days ago, and today I noticed a lot of white mucus during bowel movement. Could you please advise, what should I do if there is a lot of white mucus in the stool?

When there is a significant amount of white mucus in the stool, potential causes should be the primary concern. This may be related to pathological factors such as enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or intestinal tumors, or it may be associated with physiological factors such as diet and emotional stress. For this condition, the following measures are recommended:
1. Seek medical examination: Visit a gastroenterology department promptly for diagnostic tests such as routine stool analysis, colonoscopy, and abdominal CT scan to enable the physician to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
2. Follow medical advice for medication: Based on the test results, if diagnosed with conditions such as enteritis or ulcerative colitis, follow the physician's instructions for treatment with appropriate medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs.
3. Adjust lifestyle: Maintain healthy dietary habits, avoid excessive intake of greasy, spicy, or irritating foods, and consume more fiber-rich foods and fresh fruits and vegetables to promote intestinal health. Additionally, maintain emotional stability and avoid the impact of excessive tension, anxiety, and other emotions on intestinal function.
If you have any concerns, please consult a relevant physician.
