What Causes String-like Thing In Feces?

Hi,I had a string-like thing in my feces just now. It has so far only happened once. It did not move, there was only one. My body feels okay, I have no diarrhea or whatsoever. However, I m worried it might be a worm or some kind of other thing which I happened to catch at an early stage. Thanks in advance!
