I have been constipated for about a year now and i had a bm today and there was white looking fuzz all over it what could this be?

Mucus on stool: Treatment depends on problem (do you have soft or hard stool?), circumstances under which constipation developed (dehydration, low activity, food intolerances, stressful times, ischemic gut, inflammatory colitis, past surgeries/ trauma with adhesions, rectal dysfunction), severity (stool volume, dehydration, how much blood, night-time awakening, weight loss), ; duration (acute vs. Longstanding?).
