What Is The Thick Slimy Stuff That Comes Out Of The Anus?

There is only one thing that should come out of this orifice, so if anyone is experiencing anything different then they should seek medical attention sooner rather than later because it could be a symptom of something serious, and even life threatening.

• Worms

It could of course be an indication that the person who is suffering with this symptom has worms. There are some worms, tape worm, for example, that can break off in segments and be excreted with a bowel movement, or lay eggs around the anus.

• Tapeworm

Tapeworms are a parasite that lives in the digestive tract, where they can grow up to 25 feet long. It is possible to get tapeworms by eating food or water that is infected with tapeworm cysts of larvae.

Once they have been swallowed, they will travel to the intestines and within two months will become an adult; these have a lifespan of years. They manage to stay attached to the intestines rather than being passed along like other substances, by attaching themselves with hooks and suckers.

• Types of tapeworm

There are six varieties of tapeworm that can infect humans. Beef tapeworm comes from cattle and can be passed to humans who eat beef that has not been cooked thoroughly  that has worm cysts in it. These are the largest tapeworms.

Pork tapeworm is rare in North America, but is quite widespread in South America, including Mexico, India, Southwest Asia, China and Eastern Europe. Infestation occurs in the same way as beef tapeworm. These can grow to 21 feet.

Pork tapeworm larvae or cysts can break through the intestine and, via the bloodstream, can make their way to other organs. This is a disease called cysticerci and can happen years after infestation. In addition, it is not easy to diagnose.

Dose that mean I'm getting my period

I have stuff coming out onto my under wear

I have white stuff around my pee hole and what does that mean is it std or something else?

I'm only 13 and why do I have white stuff coming out of ,me I havent started my period but I want to know if  is wrong "/ please help by leaving a comment :) thank you (very scared )

If your a girl, you're probably just ovulating. Which means, during the period of time where the discharge is coming out you're most likely to get pregnant. The white stuff is called placenta. Oh, and don't worry, its perfectly normal

That is called feces, or fecal matter. Every living thing must excrete waste materials. Humans, like all other animals, get rid of waste through urination and excretion. Pooping is the act of removing this solid waste material through the anus.

I don`t know what that weird pee like stuff is either butt men have it on their peenus I'm pretty sure its normal(but I like touching it)

Usally for me it is poo but sometimes I have no clue. Always stinky but not always poo.  Does anyone else no what that stuff is?
