I've been diagnosed with pelvic descent and I'm not sure what to do about it. My main issue is that I don't pass stool completely even though I'm taking medicines like pegmove, duphalac, pruvict, lubbowel, cremaffin, etc. Nothing seems to help. Could this be because of pelvic descent? Would I need surgery for this and if so, what kind of surgery would it be?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm a 40-year-old male and for the past week, I've been noticing mucus discharge from my anus without any stool, just liquid mucus. I do have some gastric and digestion issues but no other problems like fever, BP, diabetes, injuries, or surgeries. What could be causing this and what treatment would you suggest?

Rectal mucus discharge without stool, along with existing gastrointestinal issues, could be related to conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hemorrhoids, or even certain infections. It's crucial to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, as the underlying cause needs to be determined
