A member asked:
When i had a bowel movement i seen some fuzzy material in my stool and when i wiped i seen some mucus what could this be.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably nothing: Mucus is made normally as a lubricant and sometimes especially if patients are a bit constipated or straining they can see it in the stool. As long as its not bloody its nothing to worry about.
