Thank you for the information.

In most cases the passage of mucus is normal.

But if it continues for some days an examination by doctor is necessary.

There can be any inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, or any local condition of anus like fissure , prolapse etc.

You can read this link for more information.

I hope this information will be helpful.

 

Please ask if you need any clarification.

 

Thank you.
