White Globs Of Stuffs Coming From Bottom. Reason?
good morning. I am concerned b/c I had a bowel movement this morning, and when I went to wipe my bottom, it was clear and slimy. I am a female, so I made sure it was not coming from the vagina, but it definately was not. There were a couple of really white globs of stuff in the toilet with the stool, but not part of the stool. Concerned why this is coming from my bottom.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described details, there appears to excessive production of mucus which is passing along with stools.
Do you have some sort of stress?
Excessive stress may cause production of mucus and could be associated with IBS.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for complete blood count, ultrasound imaging, and serum electrolytes, blood sugar, serum amylase and thyroid profile.
You should also go for colonoscopy for better clarification.
Meanwhile, you should take probiotics, rifaximin and low dose selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
You should also consult with psychiatrist.
Avoid oily and spicy food, tomatoes, citrus fruits, excessive tea & coffee, chocolates.
Take soft diet along with yogurt.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
