If the stool becomes the following 5 kinds of appearance, it is likely to alert that a disease has found you.
Hard type. Commonly known as “sheep stool ball”, small, hard. People suffering from intestinal motility disorders or constipation, stool accumulation in the intestines, water is absorbed, resulting in hard stools. Drinking less water may also lead to hard stools. These people should not hold in their stool when they have the urge, and drink more water and eat more fiber-rich foods and vegetables to promote bowel movement.
Sticky type. Like mud, close to diarrhea. This may be due to too rapid intestinal peristalsis to absorb the water in the food. If accompanied by abdominal discomfort, it may be irritable bowel syndrome, and it is important to regulate the diet and relax the mind. If it is accompanied by abnormal stool routine, it is most likely due to chronic intestinal inflammation, so it is important to seek medical attention and avoid irritating foods. If it is bright red, you may suffer from acute hemorrhagic necrotizing enterocolitis, which is mostly found in middle-aged and elderly people.
Watery liquid type. Often accompanied by sudden onset of stool, odor or foul-smelling, or tasteless, causes are mostly stress, overeating, food poisoning, etc. Pay attention to keep warm, eat more easily absorbed food, such as porridge, noodles, vegetables, etc. Avoid high-fat or high-protein diet. Unshaped stools lasting more than a week may indicate organic lesions.
Soft and hard mixed type. It is caused by “irritable bowel syndrome”, which is mostly due to stress and irregular life, resulting in the exhaustion of the body, making the stool unstable.
Slender type. The thinner strips, even as thin as noodles, are often found in women who are dieting for weight loss, abdominal muscle weakness, and can also be caused by anal stenosis or rectal tumor extrusion. It is recommended to eat more kelp, fungus, mushrooms, tofu and other foods that can easily absorb water and fermented foods such as yogurt to promote intestinal activity. people over 40 years old who have been doing this for a long time should seek medical attention as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of tumors.
