“Suddenly have rectal discharge. Should I be worried?”
4 days ago, I started having clear and white-ish mucus rectal discharge. There’s a slight odor but nothing really noticeable. It comes and goes, accompanied by stomach cramps and gas.
I have no history of GI problems personally or in my family. I have a history of low blood pressure and low iron levels.
My last period was Dec 24-Jan 2 and it comes regularly.

Hi, New onset colorectal issues such as rectal bleeding, change in bowel habits as well as anal discharge should warrant an evaluation by your physician and likely by a colorectal specialist. There are many issues that can cause discharge from weakened sphincter muscles, to prolapsed hemorrhoids to IBD and more.
