What Causes String Like Substance In Stool?
I am 54. Noticed yesterday I had a long string-like thing in my stool. Can't say it looked like a worm but then I dont know what they look like in bowel motions. I have 2 haemherroids that are not causing problems but I am getting concerned as I seem to use my bowels more often then I used to do after eating.
