MUCUS OR WORM INFESTATION.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
According to your given information, white milky thing on stool may be MUCUS or WORM infestation. It is commonly associated with constipation or diarrhea.
Bacterial over growth, Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBS, Greasy foods, dairy products, Wheat, Food allergy are the COMMON underlying causative factors.
I suggest you to undergo one Stool Routine, Microscopy and Culture test to narrow down the causes. It would be INITIAL investigation.
Later on, one Ultrasound scan and Colonoscopy may be required to confirm the diagnosis if above test report is NORMAL and UNABLE to rule out the cause.
Proper treatment can be made after diagnosis of the case. Cut down Oily, Spicy or Fatty foods. Take lots of green vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink lot of water daily. Maintain genital hygiene properly. Do periodic check up to your doctor.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
