Jelly like discharge from your bum or anus is mucus in your poop and mucus in your intestines.

The mucus that is the jelly like discharge is mucus that is naturally found in your gut.

If the mucus is clear then it's likely nothing serious although if the mucus and jelly like discharge from your bum is a yellow color it could be an infection.

Or if the jelly like discharge is pink or red in color it could be that you have blood in your poop.

You may think of mucus as the slimy stuff you cough up when you're sick.

But it can also show up at the other end: in your poop. Many parts of your body make mucus, including your intestines.

It lines your digestive tract, creating a protective layer against bacteria.

Rectal discharge refers to any substance, aside from feces, that comes out of your rectum.

Your rectum is last part of your digestive system before your anus, which is the opening at the end the system.

It usually presents as mucus or pus that you may notice in your underwear or on your stool.

Bacterial infections may also cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.

Some bacterial infections get better on their own without treatment.

Some bacteria can cause mucus in the stool, including:

Campylobacter.
Salmonella.
Shigella.
Yersinia.
