Q: Mucous In Stool

asked by: boomarylou on December 4th, 2006

My 14 year old daughter has complained of mucous in and around stool. No pain but she is convinced she has something terribly wrong and nothing I say can comfort her. She is being treated for a mild uti and is on antibiotics-could this be the cause of the mucous?

the mucous could be coming from the front and she could be having a yeast infection. i'm not a doctor but i experienced this last week and have just gotten my test results that indicate so. antibiotics can cause yeast infection.
