What Causes White Stringy Mucus In Stool And Itching Around Anus?
I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and have noticed the last 5 bowel movements I've had white stringy-like mucus on stool. Stool has been the size of a golfball or smaller since beginning of pregnancy. Other symptoms are constipation, with itching and irritation around anas.
