No need to worry: When it comes to stool you really only have to worry if you find black tarry stools, blood in your stool, bloody mucus in your stool, or have severe diarrhea or constipation. Narrowing down of the diameter of your stool could be another concern. However, the finding that you have made should not be of concern. Best wishes. Also, when it comes to medical issues there is no tm i :).
