Since the end of April I have been experiencing minor bloated pain in lower right abdominal area. Some days it’s virtually gone, and others it persists throughout the day. I went to a doctor to check, and his initial thought was appendicitis, but that was nearly dismissed after applying pressure in the area, and I did not feel any pain. Recently I have had a few stools that had mucus or fat on them, most recently one was floating. Given the duration of this issue, it has become quite a concern.

Pain lasting close to two months needs to be evaluated. Simply pressing on the lower abdomen is not sufficient. I don't see your age listed, but would strongly suggest that you see a gastroenterologist and have blood and stool testing, CAT scan, and probably a colonoscopy. Although bloating can be due to various benign issues, when it is localized, it could be coming from an inflamed process. Mucous is the colon's way of lubricating the bowel, and can be benign, but can also occur with inflammation or even a growth.

You should schedule a visit with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms could be explained by irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, bacterial overgrowth. Depending on your age and/or if you are losing weight and passing blood, you should consider having a colonoscopy. The condition should not be dismissed based on a doctor applying pressure on it.
Thanks for the responses; very helpful. I'm a male aged 25.
