WTF just came out of my arse??!!

[Tellmeitsnotnotatapeworm]

NOT A POO TROLL!!

Been for a poo, and basically a bit of poo was hanging on something that looked like dental floss. I pulled the rest out and it was about 25-30cm in length! The consistency of stretchy, stringy dental floss.

Any suggestions? It didn't look segmented so I'm hoping it's not a tapeworm!

Mucus?

Piece of bowel lining?

I've passed some before but I do have ulcerative colitis.

Do you have long hair? Could it be that you've swallowed some of your hair? Mine often gets in my face while I'm eating.

Tapeworm?

Have you had any bean sprouts recently?

A worm.

sounds like a worm

I once accidentally swallowed some chewing gum and it came out like that.

Not hair, not bean sprouts ... not what I would expect mucus to be like but having never explored my intestines, who knows!

I did find a picture of a rope worm which was the closest to what it was, but very very thin - dental floss is the only description I keep coming back to

It's making me feel queasy now ...

Do I need to do anything about it?

a worm

bananas? they can come out stringy.

Go to a chemist and speak to the pharmacist. They can help, we are just guessing
Hope it gets sorted

I think you need to keep it and go to the docs with it🤢

Just a guess but it sounds like you need to be tested for worms.

Photo?🤕

🤢

Sounds like a worm. You can ask what to do at the pharmacy or a nurse at your GP practise, depends which is quicker to get hold of. They'll ask if you've travelled abroad somewhere or eaten something undercooked etc to try to decide which type of worm. I imagine you'd need to take a dose of tablets as treatment.

Oh and others you live with may have to be treated as well .... really hope it's not a worm.

Have you travelled anywhere lately?

just in case go to chemist and buy deworming tablets.

Sounds like a worm to me.

I once accidentally swallowed some chewing gum and it came out like that.

I always swallow my gum and have never noticed it turning into a poo worm.

Sounds like a thread worm.

But when you say you've got worms, doesn't that generally mean threadworms? This was 10-12 INCHES.

I will see a pharmacist and show them the photo.
