When you go to the toilet every day, do you look back to see what your poop looks like?

Although it may feel disgusting, but the stool and our health has a close connection, is the most real "alarm" of our health, but also a barometer of our health. Therefore, after going to the toilet, do not be in a hurry to flush away, you should look back at the stool a glance, is also equivalent to complete a small physical examination.

What is normal poop like?

Normal healthy person's stool should be medium depth of brown or light brown, banana form, soft and hard just right, easy to discharge, in the toilet without sticking, can float on the water surface, water flushing that is clean, with a slight odor. The volume of daily defecation is about 150~300 grams, and it should be discharged 1~2 times a day. Each time in 1 ~ 2 minutes of natural, smooth discharge, the whole event does not exceed 5 minutes, feel relaxed after the stool, do not leave a bowel movement.

What disease is signaled by a change in stool shape?

1. A grain of sheep's poop

This is the manifestation of constipation, indicating that the usual diet of fiber and water is not enough to form enough stimulation to the intestinal tract, resulting in slow intestinal peristalsis, food residues in the intestinal retention time is too long, the water is over-absorbed, thus causing dry stools. If this kind of sheep's poop-like bean-sized stool, it suggests that we should drink more water, eat more vegetables, and keep the stool smooth.

2. Cracks on the surface of the sea cucumber

This shape of stool is still barely healthy, but it prompts us to stay hydrated. Water-rich fruits such as tomatoes, strawberries, oranges and lemons should be consumed more often.

3. Banana-like

If the stool is long and smooth and soft like toothpaste, it means that the body is healthy and there is no need to worry .

4. Soft, small pieces

If the stool is in the form of small soft lumps, and the edges are clearly separated, easy to discharge, please do not worry too much, usually there is no big problem, mostly due to eating spicy and greasy food. At this time, you should pay attention to diet control, if you can not control your mouth, you may have diarrhea.

5、Soft and thick paste

If the stool is soft and sticky, it is common that the body does not absorb fat properly after over-eating and indigestion occurs; it may also be caused by pancreatitis. You should eat more fruits and vegetables, rest on time, and seek medical attention if your symptoms don't improve.

6. Puddles of liquid

If the stools are liquid and are a sign of diarrhea, this condition needs to be taken seriously as it is likely to be a sign of bacterial infection. Common in food poisoning diarrhea and other acute enteritis. At this time, attention should be paid to diet, avoid spicy stimulation of appetite intake, should be light diet, pay more attention to rest, avoid exertion. At the same time, pay attention to timely supplementation of water, to prevent dehydration phenomenon, when the situation is serious, we should seek medical help in a timely manner.

Stool actually contains information about the disease, we usually have to develop the habit of observing their own stool, timely detection of abnormalities, early treatment of disease.

We tend to say that urine is the barometer of our body's health, in fact, stool is also a table of our body's health, if our body has health problems, it will also be reflected in the stool. This is also why when we visit a Chinese medicine practitioner, the practitioner will often ask us about our urine and feces. This is because by knowing the condition of our bowels, we can indirectly know the health condition of our body. So how do we understand the health of our body through the condition of the stool? What are the abnormal changes in the character of stool, and what diseases are represented?

First of all, let's learn about the properties of normal stools

Our normal poop is molded and striped, like a ripe banana, soft and more molded, not too dry, like an unripe banana; not too thin, like banana juice.

But if our body has health problems, then the normal properties of the stool will change, for example, when there is constipation, the stool will become dry and hard, and often difficult to defecate; but when there is diarrhea, then the stool will become thin, not shaped, or even become watery. These changes are not normal.

So, which shape changes in the stool and which diseases are related to? Now we will list and analyze them one by one:

1. Fine, flattened stools

This is mainly due to the compression of the stool during defecation, and changes in this condition are often due to narrowing of the rectum and anus or the presence of a mass, such as hemorrhoids or rectal tumors. Alternatively, it may be caused by hypertonicity of the colon.

2. Coarse stick or ball-shaped stools

This condition is mostly related to constipation, mainly because the fecal matter stays in the intestines for too long, causing a serious lack of water in the stool, which turns it into dry and hard stools, a condition that often makes defecation difficult. In addition to constipation, children with megacolon disease may also experience this change in shape.

3、White mucus stool

In this type of stool, we tend to see some white mucus that is either on the surface of the stool or trapped inside it. This often occurs due to inflammation of the intestines, such as proctitis. Also, white mucus stools can occur when the intestinal wall is irritated or when there are intestinal spasms.

4、Purulent and bloody stool

It means that there is pus and blood in the stool, which is often caused by inflammation or tumors in the intestine. For example, bacterial dysentery, amoebic dysentery, acute schistosomiasis, colon cancer, chronic ulcers, sexual colitis, intestinal tuberculosis and so on.

5、Bloody stool

It is the stool contains fresh blood, this fresh blood is usually on the surface of the stool, indicating that the site of bleeding is closer to the anus, usually caused by colon cancer, rectal polyps, anal fissure or hemorrhoids.

6. Loose stools

This loose stool, which we often refer to as watery stool and diarrhea, is often caused by indigestion, chronic gastritis and other diseases. Normally, if we ingest unhygienic food, it is also easy to cause diarrhea and diarrhea.

7, 胨状便

Stools that look like jelly, which is often due to allergic enteritis or chronic bacillary dysentery.

8. Rice slop-like stool

It's the rice-like stools, and this is mainly caused by cholera or parvovirus cholera.

9. Milk curd

This is common in infants and young children, which is often caused by infantile indigestion, infantile diarrhea, and incomplete digestion of fat or casein.

10. Tarry stools

The presence of tarry stools, dark and shiny stools, suggests the presence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

The above is the relationship between the change of stool properties and diseases. Of course, in fact, in addition to pay attention to stool traits change, at the same time we should not forget to pay attention to the color of the stool changes, which can also be predicted with the disease, not to expand here! If you have any questions, you can leave a message to talk about it!

Author's note: I'm very happy to popularize health-related knowledge for everyone, I'm left-handed to say medical, every day in simple language for you to popularize professional medical knowledge, the code word is not easy, if you like my article, help me to point a praise!

Healthy normal people once a day stool, probably weighs 100-300 grams, the normal shape of the stool is cylindrical soft stool, the color is mostly yellow-brown, infants and young children are presented as a paste stool, the color is yellow or golden yellow. Careful friends will observe their own stool every day, stool from the toilet before flushing away more than one look, you will find the shape and color of the stool changes every day, if you see the following kinds of stool to raise the alarm, it may be these diseases at work.

If the stools are found to be thin and pasty or even watery, they are mostly from diarrhea. Pediatric enteritis is usually green paste; pseudomembranous enteritis patients can be seen in the stool of green thin juice, etc.. Once the stools are found to be amoebic and the amount is relatively large, consider cholera. If there is blood dripping from the anus after defecation and the blood does not mix with the stool, it may be due to hemorrhoids; if the stool mixes with blood, consider intestinal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancer. When you find that your stools are as black and glowing as tar, you should beware of any upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Many of these stools are due to bleeding duodenal ulcers, which need to be differentiated from the black coloration of stools when taking oral carbonated medications, bismuth, consuming animal blood, and some herbal medications, which makes the black stools irrelevant, and fecal occult blood tests or restricting the consumption of the food in question can be used to differentiate it from upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

When white clay-like stools are found, it may be due to obstruction of bile excretion, different diseases: jaundice, stones, tumors and other diseases obstructing the bile duct. Mucus, pus and blood in the stool may indicate enteritis and colorectal cancer. Different amounts of pus and blood represent different diseases. When there is pus in the blood in the stool, the taste is very smelly, the color is dark red and jam-like, amoebic dysentery is considered; when mucus and pus are predominant in the stool, and there is blood in the pus, bacillary dysentery is possible.

Respondent: Xiangyu Ren, M.S., M.A.

Welcome to Life Calling for more useful health knowledge.

Life is great, but there is only one state of healthy poop:

1. Banana-shaped, discharged into the commode still maintains a fixed form;

2. Yellow to yellow-brown in color

3. Normal fecal odor, no obvious malodor

In addition, it is normal to defecate without any obvious effort, to defecate from three times a week to three times a day, and to discharge an average weight of about 200 grams of feces per day.

There are many diseases that we can identify by the color and shape of the stool:

1. Stools look like goat poop eggs and defecation is laborious

CONCLUSION: Significant constipation, chronic constipation.

2. Long, thin stools with low volume

Stress, dieting, low intake of food, especially carbohydrates, sedentary lifestyle, mental stress, abdominal fat

3. Irregular stools without lumps, such as porridge or soup.

Weakness of the spleen and stomach, low food intake and loss of appetite. Intrinsic symptoms such as indigestion and diarrhea

4. Coarse and hard stools

Eating fast leads to a large accumulation of food in the intestines before it can be digested, and the intestines continue to absorb water from the food residue during the digestion process, resulting in coarse and hard stools.

5、Pellet dry stool

Staying up late, irregular life, poor diet, the body needs insufficient water, nutrients, leading to dryness in the intestines, so that the stool becomes a piece of, staying up late, irregular life is more likely to aggravate the lack of intestinal water.

Stool is the normal secretion of the human body, generally speaking, a person's stool normal or not is also related to the state of human health, so many people will be through the nature of the stool to determine whether there is a problem in the body. Bowel movements can be affected by many factors. Poop reflects the health of the person, these six states of the poop, are the signal of a major disease!

The six states of poop that come with a major illness:

1, the stool presents a granular - beware of may be constipation.

Usually, the shape of our stool is mainly related to our daily diet. When you have a hard time defecating and your stool looks like a small bean, then this is a constipation problem. The main reason why this happens is because the daily water consumption is too little or not enough exercise, the daily body intake of fiber is not enough and caused. When you appear constipation, every day before going to bed, you can follow the upper and lower left and right gentle massage belly, which can help our intestines and stomach for peristalsis, in addition to eat some vegetables and fruits containing fiber, maintain adequate water supply.

2, the stool presents an oily black - beware of may be hemolytic disease.

In life, if you find your stool color is shiny black, or the color of the stool is darker. Then you have to be careful may be caused by certain parasitic diseases, may also be caused by chronic bleeding of the digestive tract, there may also be caused by hemolytic disease, of course, we can not rule out the possibility that you recently ingested a certain amount of animal blood products food.

3. The stool does not look like pieces of food - beware of possible parasitic infections.

In life, if you find in your stool, it doesn't look like food debris, but more like fragments, or even a small piece or section of something white, and even sometimes, it moves on its own. In this case, you should beware of a possible parasitic infection.

4, stools appear watery - beware of may be acute gastroenteritis.

In life, we are all familiar with diarrhea. If your bowel movements are dilute state, and daily discharged are watery, and more frequent, and more frequent bowel movements, in the bowel movements after the anus will appear discomfort, and even feel that there is no discharge clean, and even the lower abdomen is accompanied by pain. Then, in this case, you need to be vigilant may be acute gastroenteritis caused by discomfort, usually most cases are due to dietary impurity caused by. In this case, you can drink the appropriate amount of light salt water, and then go to the hospital for consultation.

5, stool odor, mucus, blood - beware of may be intestinal infection.

If you find that you have blood in your stool, and the stool is even accompanied by mucus, and the stool smells unusually bad, then this is most likely due to an intestinal infection, or a parasite or pathogen. In this case, it is very likely to be caused by intestinal infections, and it is also very likely that you are suffering from bleeding symptoms caused by parasites or pathogenic bacteria.

6, stools appear grayish white - beware of may be bile duct stones.

If, however, you find that your stools are white in color, somewhat similar to the color of terra cotta or the kind of off-white color on the walls. Then, in this case, it is very likely to be caused by bile duct stones, liver disease, etc. Try to go to the hospital for diagnosis and investigation.

What different poop colors mean:

1、Golden yellow

Healthy stools are golden in color, indicating a smooth digestive system. Changes in stool color may be related to the food and medication you eat. Excluding the effects of food and medication, stools of the following colors may be a sign of illness and require prompt medical attention.

2. Red

It means that there are red blood clots in the stool, which indicates that there is a problem in the lower digestive tract, that is, there is a traumatic opening in the colon, rectum and anus (usually in patients with habitual constipation or hemorrhoids) and the traumatized surface is also always contaminated by stool, which is always very dangerous and especially prone to colorectal cancer, rectal cancer and anal cancer!

3. Black

It means that there is a problem in the upper gastrointestinal system, that is, the stomach and duodenum, and there is internal bleeding, which drains out of the body and becomes black.

4. Gray and white

Grayish-white stools may be an alarm for the liver or gallbladder, including viral hepatitis, gallstones, or alcoholic liver.

Bad stools are usually a result of bowel problems. What foods should you not touch in the summer?

1. Watermelon

In the hot summer, watermelon has always been a favorite summer tool, but for those who have a bad stomach, eating watermelon will not be conducive to good health. Because of the cold nature of watermelon, especially frozen watermelon, after eating watermelon will not be conducive to gastrointestinal digestion, our stomach and intestines cause a great burden, easy to cause gastric problems.

2. Kiwi

Kiwifruit should not be eaten more, because kiwifruit is also cold, and "heartburn", eaten too much will cause damage to the intestinal yang, which will lead to diarrhea, stomach pain and other diseases.

3, Hawthorn

Hawthorn is easily regarded as the savior of patients with gastrointestinal diseases because of its effect of eliminating food and promoting appetite, but people with bad stomach should not eat more. Because hawthorn contains high content of pectin and tannic acid, it is easy to form clots with stomach acid, insoluble in water, and it will be mixed with food pieces to form stomach stones.

4, eggplant

I have always loved scrambled eggs with tomato, but then I got stomach problems and my doctor told me not to eat scrambled eggs with tomato regularly. This is mainly because tomato is highly acidic and tends to stimulate our stomach to produce more stomach acid, causing acidity and heartburn, as well as putting a great burden on the intestines and stomach.

What can you do to protect your gut from getting sick?

1, once suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, the first thing people think of is to take some antibiotic drugs, to treatment, these drugs can reduce the concentration of gastric acid, effectively regulate the problem of gastric dysfunction, the patient after taking the fast results, but this kind of drugs can not be taken for a long time, otherwise it will have certain side effects on the body.

2, in addition to taking drugs to treat gastroenteritis, for patients with mild disease, dietary modification is also a good treatment method. Patients in daily life, to eat a reasonable diet, do not often overeat, to easy to digest the food is mainly in the disease is not good before the best drink some millet porridge or eat egg custard a class of semi-liquid food.

3. Drink more hot tea

Tea therapy, in regulating gastric diseases, all have their unique advantages, in order to regulate qi, blood, and stomach, pain relief, to achieve the purpose of curing the root cause.

Therefore, it is good for people with a weak stomach to drink more tea.

Yang flavor spirit! Red! Tea, steeped in water, is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, and nourishes the stomach and relieves pain.

Cloves, which sprout in the spring, are a wild vegetable and herb.

According to Chinese medicine, cloves, into the liver, stomach two meridians, good at clearing stomach heat, treatment of stomach pain.

Modern pharmacological studies have shown that cloves, can also kill Helicobacter pylori, reduce the incidence of gastric ulcers, for various types of gastric pain, but also improve the effect.

Rock Gui, with its pungent and bitter taste, enters the spleen and lung meridians, can regulate qi and strengthen the spleen, regulate the middle and stomach, and is good at treating the syndrome of stagnant qi in the spleen and stomach.

In addition, the volatile oil contained in rock cinnamon can stimulate the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, promote digestion, drain the intestinal tract of stagnant gas, and enhance appetite.

The two are paired together and brewed in water to nourish and sterilize the stomach, reduce inflammation and pain, strengthen the spleen and stomach, which is particularly effective.

As a gastrointestinal surgeon, let me answer this question.

Eating, drinking, pooping and sleeping are particularly important things that happen every day, in which the stool is closely related to each person, too many times, the stool is not shaped, belonging to diarrhea; a few days without stool, dry stool, belonging to constipation.

What does normal poop look like?

Normal stools should be soft, banana-like, and yellowish-brown in color, but of course, the color of the stool is very much related to the food eaten. The fourth type of stool in the picture below is the most normal stool.

The shape of the stool depends largely on the amount of water in the stool; too much and too little water represent different diseases:

Stool shape in patients with constipation

As the water in the stool decreases, the stool becomes harder and harder, and finally turns into hard little lumps, like sheep's dung, in small grains. Many patients with constipation have stools like this, because they drink too little water or the stool stays inside the colon for a long time, causing the water in the stool to be absorbed and eventually turn into a hard ball of feces.

So, to treat constipation, you need to drink more water and eat more dietary fiber, which absorbs water and softens stools.

Stools of patients with diarrhea

If the water in the stools keeps increasing, the stools will become softer and softer, turning into shapeless stools, and may eventually become watery, which is often referred to as diarrhea. There are many causes of diarrhea, which can be broadly categorized into infectious diarrhea and non-infectious diarrhea. Infectious diarrhea can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and so on. Non-infectious diarrhea can be caused by a variety of factors, such as irritable bowel syndrome, medication side effects, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and so on.

Diarrhea alternating with constipation

Some patients may have diarrhea and constipation alternately, sometimes manifested as diarrhea, sometimes constipation, often due to intestinal stimulation, neurological disorders, which can be seen in irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, intestinal tuberculosis and so on, this change in bowel habit needs to be paid attention to because it may be a clinical manifestation of colorectal cancer, and it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and make a clear diagnosis.

Thinning stools are a sign of danger

In addition to less water in the stool, there is also a possibility that the stool has become thinner, which is also a change in the shape of the stool. The size of the intestines of each Ran is somewhat different, so the size of the poop is also different. However, if your stools are suddenly thinner, you need to be on the lookout for some diseases, such as colorectal cancer and hemorrhoids.

In colorectal cancer, especially rectal cancer, the tumor grows into the intestines, which can cause narrowing of the intestines, and when the stool passes through, it will squeeze the stool, causing the stool to become thinner, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty in defecation, abdominal distension, blood in stool, black stool, and so on.

Similarly, hemorrhoids are the same. The hemorrhoidal core of internal hemorrhoids grows towards the intestines, which can cause narrowing of the intestinal tubes, resulting in thinning of the stool. Hemorrhoids can also be accompanied by internal hemorrhoidal prolapse, blood in the stool, perianal itching, moisture and other clinical manifestations.

I hope that after each bowel movement, you will look back at your stools, and if you have diarrhea, constipation, thinning stools and other changes in the shape of your stools, you need to go to the hospital to receive a checkup, get a clear diagnosis, and receive treatment.

Normal stools are usually yellow or yellow-brown in color and are formed in cylinders or strips. The frequency of bowel movements is usually 1-2 times a day or once every 1-2 days. By knowing the color and frequency of stools, you can identify the cold, heat and reality of the disease.

1, abnormal frequency: constipation for several days, accompanied by abdominal fullness and hard pain, hot flashes of thirst, yellow tongue coating, mostly for the heat and injury to the fluid of the real heat; after the disease of the qi and blood has not been restored, or the elderly blood dryness and fluid withered and women postpartum and other constipation caused by yin and blood loss or fluid deficiency deficiency of the deficiency of the constipation; constipation accompanied by a fear of cold and love of warmth, fatigue and fatigue, the pulse to sinking delayed for the yin and cold cold cold internal knot of the cold constipation; the increase in the number of times the stool accompanied by abdominal pain and abdominal distension of the stomach and less food is more Diarrhea of spleen deficiency; abdominal pain that is diarrhea is mostly caused by the evil of the liver by the spleen; every day before dawn diarrhea, day long more than that is called the five night discharge, is a deficiency of the kidneys.

2, the shape of the abnormal: stool such as sheep's feces is more fluid dry; stool diarrhea with undigested food residue and putrid smell for the diarrhea of injury; diarrhea yellow water, burning sensation in the anus for the damp-heat diarrhea; stools are dry and dilute, mostly for the liver and spleen deficiency; stools are dry and then loose, mostly for the weakness of the spleen and stomach.

3, the color is abnormal: stool color black is generally within the blood; stool blood due to heat forced blood or the spleen does not control the blood; stool pus and blood, mostly dysentery, red dysentery more heat, more evil injury to blood, white dysentery more cold, more evil injury to qi, red and white together, more for the dampness and heat.

4, stool sense of abnormality: stool leakage such as jet, diarrhea, anus has a burning sensation, feces putrid smell for the real heat evidence; thin stool, abdominal pain, like to press like warm, fear of cold limbs cold for the cold evidence; defecation of the anus or even prolapse of the anus is mostly in the qi subsidence; fecal incontinence is mostly for the old spleen and kidney yang deficiency; itching or pinworms or dampness and heat injections; anus pain is mostly hemorrhoids or intestinal heat down the pressure of redness and swelling caused by.

Stool normal or not reflects the physical changes, especially the digestive system of the disease, stool abnormalities should cause people to pay close attention to.

There are many kinds of stool, the difference lies in the shape, color, length and so on different, in these different characteristics in fact reflects the different composition of the stool, in these different components of the back is in fact a reflection of the person's intestinal problems, physical problems and dietary problems. First of all, a person's normal stool is long, soft, yellow in color like a banana.

If the stool is too thin, not shaped, called loose stools, this is often the small intestine hypermotility, and even in the stool can be seen inside the undigested food, this is to eat the food is not fully digested and absorbed, part of the nutrients are wasted, Chinese medicine, called the "complete grain is not chemical," the body is often spleen yang deficiency, usually eat cold food, such as ice cream, fruits, raw vegetables, and so on. This type of body is often characterized by a deficiency of spleen yang and a tendency to eat cold foods, such as ice cream, fruits, and raw vegetables. Therefore, our dietary habits need to be corrected.

If the stool is too dry, can not pull, or pull out sometimes like sheep's dung eggs, a few days without pulling, stomach bloating, uncomfortable, this is also not normal, we call this situation for constipation. This shows that the stool in the large intestine to stay too long, the large intestine to absorb water caused by excessive. This is often related to the diet structure, love to eat spicy, meat and other foods. Of course, there is also a relationship with other habits, such as when the urge to come because of other important things delayed for a long time, thus delaying the formation of constipation. So the symptoms of constipation are also a reminder that we need to change our habits.

Normal stool color is yellow, if it is other colors need to cause us to pay attention, such as black stool, may be upper gastrointestinal bleeding, this disease can be acute gastritis (gastric mucosal erosion), gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastric cancer, gastric benign tumors of the rupture of the bleeding, small intestinal ulcers and so on, but also can be the problem of the food eaten, such as fried blood clots, pig's blood, sheep's blood and so on can be caused by the black stool, can also be some drugs to cause black stool, so do not be nervous, according to their own situation to analyze and identify. It can also be caused by certain medicines, so don't be nervous if you have black stools, but analyze and identify it according to your own situation. If there is blood in the stool, fresh blood, we should consider the problems of the digestive tract, such as colon cancer, rectal cancer, or hemorrhoids. If there is pus in the stool, consider colitis. If the stool is white, this is rare but not unheard of, for example, go to the hospital to see if you have had a barium meal of the digestive tract.

Therefore, the stool can respond to a person's physical and living habits, especially eating habits, to know the small to see the big, so as to correct irrational habits earlier, not to the end of the unmanageable. I have seen the youngest stomach cancer patient 19 years old girl, I have seen 26 years old male rectal cancer patient. Although it is not common, it should draw the attention of all of us.

Defecation is a physiological phenomenon in the human body, where food debris accumulates in the colon and when it reaches a certain level it stimulates the cerebral cortex and produces the urge to poop.

Because the process of stool formation and excretion requires the participation of a variety of internal organs, the shape of the stool can very often reflect the body's health problems.

Simply identify health problems by the shape of your stool:

(1) Dried and knotted columns or sheep's dung

Cause: This is due to constipation caused by the stool staying in the intestines for too long and the water in the feces being absorbed away, leading to dry stools.

Health Problems: Constipation lasting for more than 2 months may be due to solid fire in the body, endocrine disorders, medication reasons, etc.

(2) Fine as a pencil

Cause: Tumors or lesions in the colon area squeeze the stool, causing it to have an elongated, pencil-like shape.

HEALTH ISSUES: Stool shaped like a pencil for more than 2 weeks may be a colon tumor, the

(3) Flat banded

Cause: The stool is unreasonably squeezed as it passes through the anus and nearby rectum, and is flattened in shape like a band.

Health problem: Prolonged flat stools into the band may be anal stenosis or rectal tumors near the anus.

(4) Paste-like sticky toilet

Causes: Heavy dampness in the body, formation of dampness-heat, sticky stools.

Health Problems: Chronic sticky stools may be a result of a spleen deficiency with high levels of dampness.

(5) Watery stools

Cause: Aggregation of intestinal flora, leading to frequent movements and abdominal pain.

Health problems: possible food poisoning, cold.

What diseases are represented by the many shapes of stool?

Stool is like a mirror of our digestive tract, changes in stool properties can directly reflect changes in the body, so pay attention to observe stool properties, can effectively prevent and timely detection of physical diseases.

Observe stool color and shape

1. Stool color

Normally, human feces are yellow or yellowish-brown in color, while infant feces are golden yellow or light yellow. A different color may indicate gastrointestinal problems. For example, grayish-white stools are associated with biliary tract blockage caused by roundworms, stones and tumors; black or tarry stools are associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and excessive consumption of animal liver and blood; red stools are associated with hemorrhoids, polyps, fissures, and cancers; clay-colored stools may be associated with obstructive jaundice; and yellowish-green stools may be associated with pseudomembranous enteritis.

2. Stool shape

Under normal circumstances, stools are cylindrical and soft; abnormal stools include mucus, watery, loose stools and hard stools. Generally speaking, people with chronic constipation have hard feces, while people with habitual constipation have feces that look like sheep's dung. Mucus and scanty feces are usually found when the intestinal wall is inflamed or irritated, such as in acute schistosomiasis and enteritis, etc. Mucus and pus with blood are mainly triggered by bacillary dysentery, while soy-colored mucus is mostly seen in amoebic dysentery.

Here are a few examples of abnormal stool traits

Mucous, pus-like or mucopurulent blood stools

Appears when there is inflammation in the lower part of the intestine, commonly in bacterial dysentery, ulcerative colitis, and in cancer of the colon or rectum, etc. Mucus and pus predominate, and may be mixed with fresh blood. The amount of mucus and pus and blood depends on the type and degree of inflammation.

tarry stool

Stools that are black and soft and shiny, like tar on a highway, are most often seen in upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Taking activated carbon, pig's blood, iron, and Chinese herbs will also result in grayish-black stools, but without luster.

Pink poop.

Pink stools are most often seen in intestinal tumors.

Bright red stools

Seen in diseases with bleeding from the colon and rectum, such as bowel cancer and bleeding hemorrhoids, where there is bright red blood around the outside of the stool.

potter's clay-like stool

It is mostly seen in biliary tract diseases, such as bile duct cancer, bile duct stones, pancreatic cancer, and other various causes of obstructive jaundice, resulting in a decrease or lack of bile sweat, so that there is a decrease in urobilinogen in the feces, and so the feces are grayish-white in color.

greenish colored loose stool

It is seen in the case of indigestion in breastfeeding, when bilirubin is excreted with the stool due to excessive intestinal peristalsis.

People in daily life should develop the habit of observing the characteristics of the stool, the shape and color of the stool to attract enough attention, once there are abnormalities in the stool should be promptly checked in the hospital, do not be paralyzed by carelessness and cause adverse consequences.
