What Are Round Brownish Colored Strings That Are Seen When Wiped From Bowel Movement?

Every once in a while I will find a brownish colored string like thing when I wipe from a bowel movement. It is usually about 3" in length and has a small round shape at one end and the rest kinda looks like it is intestine shape. Any ideas for me??

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be suffering from intestinal worms.

I would suggest that you should get your stool examined.

You should deworming by taking Albendazole 400 mg at night.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
