Noticed White Streaks In Stool Due To Anal Fissure

Hi just a quick question. I recently had a hiking injury where I fell and I ended up with an Anal Fissure. It is on the mend, but I have noticed that when I go to the washroom sometimes my stool has white streaks in it. Is this cause for alarm? I don't feel this is natural and I am concerned. Please help! :)

HI
Well come to HCM
I can under stand your concern, as long as the anal fissures are concern it could be due to constipation and for that first thing you need to do is to relive the constipation and for that I would suggest to have high fiber diet, drink more water, try some Isabgol powder two tea spoon at bed time, the whit streak that is being noticed could be due to diet taken, it may be worm but it has to be confirmed with lab test, if this is being happening on and often and not being related with diet, then stool needs to be sent for lab test, hope this information helps.
