Bloody mucus in your stool can be a symptom of several conditions.

The blood and mucus you have when you make a bowel movement may be due to proctitis, which is inflammation to the rectum, or damage to the rectum. Several conditions can cause inflammation and damage to the rectum, some of which are temporary and some of which are chronic.

With proper treatment, the inflammation or damage can be stopped or minimized and the bloody mucus eliminated.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

There are two forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

The chronic conditions cause inflammation and damage to the lining of the intestines, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain and changes to your bowel movements.

Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis causes the inner lining of the rectum and colon, or large intestine, to become inflamed. The condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, a common one being bloody stool.
