Thick mucus red and brown from anus

 ( Female 28 )Hi just wondering if anyone has ever experienced anything like this before 

Basically few weeks ago I started to notice when I was having bowel movement there was brown mucus and bright red blood mixed in I phoned my Doctor straight away he seen me felt my stomach and sent me for bloods to check everything I aslo sent stool sample of to see if there was a infection but come back negative I’ve just recovered from covid so I wasn’t able to have my bloods done last week I’m going this week at some point wants my tests is completely negative for covid . 

Every morning I wake up I have the worst stomach cramps and I basically need to go the toilet straight away this morning it happened again and I keep passing thick red mucus along with  Diarrhea I’ve had diarrhea sorry TMI! For 4 days now but not sure if that is linked to me having covid but I know the covid wouldn’t cause thick red mucus that’s my worry Im calling doctor back tomorrow morning as last week he did say he will send me in to have a camera to see what’s causing the bleeding I did have a baby 12 weeks ago but that was via c section I also have suffered with   Hemorrhoids  in both my Pg’s but this is getting alarming now as I’ve never had anything like this happen to me before sometimes the mucus can be thick brown or red 

Basically just wondering if anyone has had anything like this before ? I can’t stop googling and I know I shouldn’t but my mind is doing over time  thinking the worst about everything my stomach constantly makes Loud noises all day long even when I’ve eat and not hungry 

I know I can’t get diagnoses on here I’m just wondering if anyone has dealt with anything similar as it’s driving me insane I should get some answers in the next 2 weeks with bloods and hopefully colonoscopy.

  • Hello Lo 12 and thank you for your post.

    I can appreciate your worry but it does seem that your GP is reassuringly on the ball by requesting the blood test and looking to see if you need to have a colonoscopy.

    I am afraid that no one here can tell you what is the matter and searching online will come up with many reasons, which will always include cancer. So please stop searching and remember that at your age bowel cancer is unusual. The fact is that there are many reasons why people could have the symptoms you have. 

    In the meantime if you are concerned about your health before you get the result of your tests do go back and talk with your GP.

    I hope you have support at home and that you will be okay.

    Take care,

    Caroline
