I am having mucus in stool from last 1 week. Stool is fine. Not watery stools. But frequency increased. Earlier every time a got a clear bowel movement. But now I'm going bathroom 4 times in morning. Medium amount of poop and jelly like mucus is coming out. No other symptoms. Is it cancer? Will I die?

Looks more like infection with amebiasis rather than cancer. Please show to family physician. He may prescribe antibiotics (preferably ofloxacin with ornidazole twice daily for 3 -5 days) and ask for a stool examination. If this does not settle, he may refer to a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy to rule out other causes like ulcerative colitis and rarely cancer. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.
