Clear or mucus like prostate fluid when i have bowel movement? i have ocd about contaminating toilet. if some gets on the toilet seat, how can i sanitize the seat for females in home who use it next? is cleaning with soap/water or clorox wipes enough?

It's common for some men to express prostate fluid during defecation. The fluid is not likely infected and no harm to others who might be exposed to it. (Even STIs are not transmitted by contaminated toilet seats.) That said, esthetically others would not want to be in contact with any other person's body fluids, so wipe the seat if the fluid contacts it. Any soap or disinfectant is sufficient.
