Suggest Treatment For Sticky Stools

I have been having stools off and on that stick to the toilet . They are normal color and quite soft. I am a 48 year old female. I am peri-menapausal. I am taking Tirusant 100mg for hypothyroid. I am 5'7" and weight is 160pounds. Is this something i should be concerned about? Can i do something to prevent this?
