milk substance after bowel movement

I am a 45 year old male. I am married and have never cheated. I somtimes see a milky sticky substance after pushing to get a hard stool out. It only happens when I push hard. I had a physical a month ago and everything was fine. Prostate was the correct size. I do not have any pain when this happens and the substance does not smell. I eat alot of cheese and I maybe have sex once a month. Not much comes out maybe a drop. This happened once before Thanksgiving, Jan 8 and maybe today

Testing the urine for urethritis and various STDs should be done - even if you are at low risk.
A digital rectal exam to evaluate the prostate, along with a prostatic massage can help determine if there is prostatitis.
If negative, you can consider a transrectal ultrasound to image the prostate for any evidence of an abscess.
Any infection found can be treated with appropriate antibiotics.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
