[|Human|] I have a clear mucus discharge from my rectum.  I have had radiation in the last year for prostate cancer.  My intestinal problems began during radiation.  I also have had several instances with diverticulitis resulting in removal of part of my colon.  Pain and fever have subsided but I still have the mucus discharge.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. No it is not normal to have mucus discharge from anus. You need to evaluate this. Since you had prostate cancer treated with radiation and diverticulitis, possibility of internal disease is more. So you should consult gastroenterologist and get done 1. Microscopic examination of discharge 2.  Lower GI scope. Microscopic examination of discharge is needed to rule out infection. Lower GIs copy is needed to rule out diverticular disease. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
