I am a 27-year-old female and recently I have noticed a lot
of mucus in my stools. I have had alternating constipation and diarrhea for a
few years. Is this of great concern? My health is otherwise okay.
Some people do have mucus in stools, especially patient who
develop IBS. Mucus in stools can also be seen in patients with ulcerative
colitis. I suggest you go and see your doctor and get a proper work up. The two
disorders that you want ruled out are IBS and ulcerative colitis. Perhaps a referral
to a gastroenterologist may be beneficial. Do remember, that the majority of
people who have mucus in stools have normal health- so I would not go crazy
about it.
