Bloody mucus in the stool of patients with colorectal cancer may be caused by necrosis, shedding, cancer cells invading surrounding blood vessels, and infection of surrounding tissues.

2. Hemorrhoids:

Hemorrhoids are a common anal disease that may be caused by bad living habits. During the onset of the disease, there is usually bleeding during bowel movements, resulting in bloody mucus in the stool. Some people may also experience anal itching and pain.

3. Bacillary dysentery:

Bacterial dysentery is mostly an intestinal infectious disease caused by Shigella infection, which usually has a tendency to diarrhea. It may also be due to bacterial invasion, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, mucus and pus, bloody stools, etc., resulting in bloody mucus in the stool.

Factors such as ulcerative colitis may also cause blood in stool mucus. Once the patient has blood in stool mucus, he needs to go to the hospital for examination in time to determine the cause and then carry out targeted treatment.
