What's with the hard shit and mucus?

Stool hard, with mucus may be caused by intestinal inflammation, intestinal infection, intestinal polyps and other reasons.

1, intestinal inflammation

colitis, Crohn's disease and other inflammation will lead to intestinal mucosa damage, leading to increased mucus secretion; at the same time intestinal peristalsis slowed down, will lead to stool induration.

2, intestinal infection

bacterial dysentery, amebic dysentery and other pathogens infection will lead to increased intestinal mucosa secretion, at the same time intestinal dysfunction, will cause stool hard with mucus phenomenon.

3, intestinal polyps

intestinal polyps may stimulate intestinal mucosa, leading to increased mucus secretion, at the same time will affect stool excretion, leading to stool retention in the intestine for a long time, water is sucked dry, resulting in stool hard phenomenon.
