Someone help me about this issue..

Hi...sounds like you have mucus in the stool. The itch can be from a fissure or maybe a slight yeast infection or some mucus leaking from the anus.. or stool in the anal folds if not wiped or cleansed thoroughly after a bm.

Check out irritable bowel syndrome.

You might be able to adjust your diet somewhat to ease some of the symptoms...what does your diet look like in general?

Stress can compound irritable gut, and sometimes spasming or gas can cause the cramping. Sometimes calming teas like peppermint can help that.

So, is your life in general extremely stressful lately?

If you are able to have stool samples done, that might be good to help identify if there's something else going on besides active mucus.

You might want to consider taking fibre supplements as well as probiotics to at least help keep the flora of your colon in good balance.

Have you checked out the IBS forum on this site?

Hello Joseph~!!

I do know that Hemmies can cause a whitish mucus... my aunt had hemmies so bad and she had lots of white mucus in her poopies... that might explain the itching too.. they can sure itch sometimes! I agree with Quincy also about stressors and diet... and DEFINATELY a probiotic.. I swear by those! But if it persists, I'd definately get it checked out.. just to be safe and sound :)
