flat stool on one side?
hi
healthy, no family history, super good high fiber low fat diet
I have become obsessed with checking stool for how round/cylindrical it is.
19 months ago started softer bms. two gastros dismissed soft stool as nothing serious.
what does flat stool on one side mean?? I am checking each stool on my knees with a pencil.
they are definitely not all cylindrical, some look a bit flat or compressed on bottom side, almost always the side where the stool makes contact with bottom of toilet bowl ( they always sink)
some of my stools are banana thick and cylindrical enough to actually roll down side of toilet bowl when prodded with pencil.
are the people on forums who mention they have flat stool on one side( concerned about uc or cancer!) actually on their knees prodding stool with a pencil or am I a really unusual nut neurotic?
How noticeable is flat on one side and to what degree is this a cause for concern? is the stool darn near semi circular, like a banana sliced right down the middle leaving one side literally flat??
I started to get neurotic after I flunked hemoccult over a year ago, I then passed several hemoccults after that one.
please help?? am I going way to far with inspections? how could 3 or 4 bms weekly be so cylindrical they can roll and yet others are not as cylindrical?
thank you doctor

If your question is how do you tell if you have polyps or if a polyp is cancerous? If this is yes - then you need to see a doctor for a colonoscopy.
You might have better luck asking in the Gastrointestinal forum. Colonoscopy
will tell you if your polyps are cancerous, need to be removed or just getting
them removed during the colonoscopy. I have had two colonoscopies, removed three polyps and non where cancer.

I am asking a question about a possible sign of a polyp or cancer.
If I am in the wrong area, then please direct me to the area where people can ask a question about symptoms that may be a sign of cancer.

Do you have Cancer? If you don't there are other forums on Medhelp that might give you some relief. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is one of the
forums you could post your question in. Why don't you give it a try if you don't have cancer.
