What Does String In Stool Indicate?

I went to have a bowel movement and after I finish and I was wiping myself I noticed that something was hanging from my butt. I proceed to put it out with my had and it was a string of something rubbery and like 3 and it brake staying some part inside. I got so nervous that I call my husband to the bathroom he look at the string but he didn t know what it was, he said it looks like skin. I think is a parasite but I don t know what to do.

Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.

I share your concerns. In my opinion it is haemorrhoids (piles). It is a common problem with several people nowadays. Other possibility is anal warts. Warts appear due to HPV (a virus) infection. Both present in the way you have described. Both have simple treatment too. May require surgery also, depending on the examination. In my clinical practice, I have not seen parasites or worms presenting in such fashion.

You need to visit a surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis. I hope my reply will help you. Please contact hcm or me for follow up queries. I wish you good health. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
