What Does Dark String From Rectal Discharge In A Child Indicate?
Hello, my 6 year old daughter has a long dark string that comes out from her rectal when she has a bowel movement. It resembles a piece of thread. Should I be concerned or has she simply swallowed a piece of string. This is the 2nd time this has happen within the last 2 weeks.

Your daughter is suffering from worm infestation.
Those long thread like things are worms.
Consult your doctor and ask for stool examination and deworming medications like Albendazole.
