I'm a 16 year old straight male, I've never engaged in sexual activity of any kind, heterosexual or otherwise. I am having a problem surface again after about 4-5 months in that I have mucus seeping from my anus. The first time I experienced it was after a strep throat infection, the mucus ranged from clear to brownish and had an oily consistency. It was also intensely itchy, and constant wiping probably exacerbated the problem. My stools were also often frequently covered in mucus and sometimes had some fresh red blood on them. My doctor checked the area and noted a sore and hemorrhoids, he have me an ointment and hemorrhoid suppositories, after which the problem subsided within a week. I thought that that was the end of the problem.
Only now, after being symptom free for about 4-5 months this has come back, seemingly without provocation, I noted passing a slightly firmer than usual stool as being the only deviation form my norm. It is now itchy intermittently, and the mucus seeping has come back. I'm worried about this because it has recurred and am very concerned that it will develop into a chronic problem, I'd like to know what could cause this other than hemorrhoids and whether it is cause to be concerned?
Thanks a great deal in advance.
