Hey everyone, so i noticed this the third time in my stool .

The first time i saw it, it was like a round white egg looking thing stuck in my poo and then like a week later, the other day i saw it again and this time it looked like a round yellow egg. And now today I took this picture of my poop and im guessing this the same thing again. Im not sure what these round egg looking things are and im starting to get very scared as I have read online about parasites and worms. But apart from these round things i haven't noticed anything else in my poop so i doubt its worms. But please reply back if you can and if you know what this is please try an explain to me as im getting really worried and im not sure if i should go to the doctors or not. PLEASE HELP.Thank you.

Sorry for the picture I know its not something you wanna see, but I had to put it up to help you get a better idea of what Im talking about.

    Are you sure it's not something part digested that you've eaten?

      No, Its definetely not because this has happened 3 times over the past 3 weeks and i cant remember eating anything like that. Thats what I though at first, until i noticed how for some reason its happened 3 times and theres always one egg looking thing.

      HI alisha43574,

      Please dont think that I am being funny or rude, as I have come for hopefully to fined out things and I am only trying to help you here, but to help you find out, the NHS sendout  a letter and ask peeps to do a test, like putting tiny bits of poop into boxes and then send them off it might be worth you doing that at least you will find out about what they are and it might stop you from worrying, I am sure peeps in this forum know the telephone number, if not, I can find out on monday and let you know.

    You seem sure its not something you ate.

    Why are you putting it up on the web instead of going to your doctor?

    I think the NHS faeces test is looking for bowel cancer and I would be surprised if you get a reply within weeks and they will probably say its none of their business..   In the meantime something might be going wrong.   If it happens again dont photograph it - put it in a plastic bag and take it to the doc.    If it doesnt happen again before tomorrow morning just go to the doctor and get his opinion on how worried you should be.   Take your photo with you

      I couldnt get an appointment lately and was sitting at home worried and so i wanted a brief idea on what it could be instead of stressing myself out.

    Whatever you eat comes out the other end Alisha, that is just something you have digested at least twice as it happened once before, don't be so paranoid about this kind of thing... just flush and forget its Nothing!!!

    Trust me it's not a worm, and if it was a worm you would know about it, just drink plenty of water and it will be flushed away and the drama will stop..
