What Causes Acute Constipation With Mucus In Stool?
Hello, I am terrified and crying my eyes out. I have been randomly constipated here and there with mucus which I never use to see in my stool. Tonight I did a random poop, very small and In the form of a ball (constipated or forced myself to go-bad habit) Tonight I found a string attached. I touched it and it just broke apart, I m not sure if I should be concerned but I read all of these cases about possible worms and I don t want to die. I am so scared now...idk what to do...
