Bowel movement with lump of mucus/blood

01/25/2010

Question:

i have had itchiness from anus for a while along with small release of blood which i think is just from small tear in anus but today had a small bowel movement which had a fairly large lump of mucus/sperm type fluid which was covered in blood . have previously had pain and antibiotic treatment for what was thought to be an infection of my sperm duct

Answer:

The blood and mucus may be from a fissure, or an irritated internal hemorrhoid. If the itching and bleeding continues, please seek an exam from a proctologist, who can diagnose the cause and prescribe appropriate treatment.
