pelvic examination can lead to this
as maniulating pelvic organs there can be discharge which might get accumulated near the anus and while we sweep it is lefton paper in my opinion
you may take light antibiotic with local ointment to clear these

Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
The white specks were apparently mucus, left behind around the anus after bowel movement.
Mucus in stools is usually due to either a protozoal infection or, due to Irritable Bowels Syndrome(IBS). The information provided by you is very vague and needs further elaboration at length.
A 5 day-course of metronidazole should clear the intestinal infection, if it is due to protozoal infection. IBS needs a long-term treatment.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.
In case of any further queries, revert back to me THROUGH DIRECT PREMIUM QUERY (Paid), addressed to me personally. You will receive- almost immediately- my response in great details.
