When using bathroom my feesis comes out in strips like peeling a cheesehead can this indicate enlarge prostate?

No: No not likely. You are only 26 you shouldn't worry about having an enlarged prostate. What you are describing is likely a combination of factors including the consistency of your stool, anatomical variation of your rectum/anus and straining too hard upon defecation.

Likely not: Could be from narrowing in the lumen or cavity of your large intestine or colon. Sometimes it's a sign of inflammation or tumor of the colon , and nothing to do with prostate enlargement . The latter would manifest with urinary symptoms like decreased urine stream, difficulty with urination etc. Go see a gastroenterologist for reassurance . Take care!
