Hi, I have currently been experiencing mucus in stool for about 2months now. First i had abdominal pain which only lasted the first month and now just mucus in stool. I consulted my GP in regards to this and he put me on antibiotics called metrogyl now 7 days later after antibiotics mucus is still present. I was just wondering what should be done nect and if you have any idea on what I could be experiencing. Thanks
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. IF metro has not subsided the mucus, there has to be a reason.IT can be found only on colonoscopy examination. The probable causes are a mucous secreting tumor, chronic abscess (not seen commonly now-a-days), polyp and so on. Later on CT scan abdomen may also be required.
