Firstly sorry for gross subject matter.....
Sometimes I've noticed a small, isolated blob of white mucous in the toilet after a bm. It's not much, probably no bigger than my finger nail, and is quite separate from the poo, not mixed in with it. The poo itself looks quite normal & definitely not mucusy. It doesn't happen all the time. Typically I'll see it for 2/3 days in a row then nothing for a week or more. Before today I'd not seen it for 3 weeks. I actually wondered if it might not even be from my bowel as I am prone to a lot of cm, especially when I have a bm. I also don't recall seeing it during my period. However, assuming it is from the bowel, should I be worried? I first noticed it about 6 months ago, I have no other symptoms & it hasn't got worse.
Thanks.
