Hi dr I am 23 years old Having health anxiety since the lockdown began in 2020 I started reading health articles online as I had mucus in stool I came across these articles mentioning the word polyps I started to believe I had one Then I visited one the of the best doctors in my city and he told me it was due to constipation and nothing else he gave me medicines and asked Me for blood and stool test which were normal I check my stool daily for symptoms but now I don't have mucus This thing of polyps still haunts me Some doctors told me it is nearly impossible for me to have polyps at 23 is that true ? Pls reply dr I need your help

Dear user, Mucus in stool may be due to irritable bowel, that is precipitated by stress First of all stop stressing Take plenty of water ( 2.5 - 3 L) Take high fibre diet Avoid prolonged fasting Polyps are rarely seen at 23 (unless family history of malignancy) Still if it still makes you anxious - colonoscopy will resolve your concern ( but i think it's unnecessary for now ) Regards

Mucous was likely related to infection Persistent mucous and blood if present then need investigation otherwise just avoid stress
