Is this worms or could it be something else?

this is gross... but I went to the bathroom the other day and yesterday and my #2 came out as small, round pieces (round small pieces is normal for me) but in the middle of it was this very long, greyish sting like thing connecting one to another and it wasnt moving at all and the string thing was hard to break apart (i used gloves to see)

but then today it was perfectly normal!

but i was wondering if its worms? if it isnt worms what could it be? maybe mucus from not "going" like im suppossed too?

.

if you could help and not be immature and just put 'ew' that would be lovely :) im a bit freaked out.

    As a general rule, worms are "on the move" when they are passed in the stool. Tapeworms tend to be white, long with proglottids; those are sections, and can reach lengths of almost 1 meter. Pinworms look like little pieces of rice in the stool. Ascaris Lumbricoides are round, sort of looks like a nightcrawler.

    You also said that you passed perfectly normal stool. Sounds more like the mucus theory you proposed.

    Still wouldn't hurt to go to the doctor to make sure.
