Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi doctor so I just went to the bathroom and while I was wiping I saw a little ball of white, it looked like clumped up discharge but when I finished I looked at my poop and the same white balls were in my poop. This is the first time this has happened so I was just wondering what it could be. Or if I have to go to the doctor. Please help thanks
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of seeing white balls on wiping and the same in the poop. The commonest reasons of such white material are: Undigested or half digested foods. Mucus in clumps. The best way is to send the sample of stool for three consecutive days and get the treatment as per the reports. Surely it is always better to report such things to a Doctor as he is better judge to know what exactly is the problem and can give you the prescription accordingly. Take care. Observe the things you ate and will eat to correlate.
