Medical Forum / General / General / May 2005Stool problem
I have been having a problem lately. I'm not having stool during the weekdays and I have it all on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). If it happens that I have stool during the weekdays, after defecating, it takes me a long time to wipe because not the entire stool is released. For a long time I have been having hemorrhoids and sometimes I have blood release but no abnormal pain. Is this serious, and what I should do to get it back to normal? I have reported it to my doctor but he said nothing. > I have been having a problem lately. I'm not having stool during the > weekdays and I have it all on weekends (Saturday and Sunday).

I advise you to see your doctor and tell him about the blood. It could be from the hemorrhoids but it also might be as a result of colon cancer which is a very serious disease. The doctor can do a test to determine whether or not you have color cancer. In mean time, visit a health food store and buy some a natural product made by a company called CleaseSmart. It contains substances that should help you.

However, bleeding per rectum and a *change* in bowel habits are two things that suggest the possibility of colon cancer. If you are older than about 25, your doctor should have shown more concern and arranged a colonscopy. HMc > >> I have been having a problem lately.

I forgot to tell tell the original poster to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. I recently heard a doctor on a radio show state that people that don't drink 8 glasses or water per day have lots of problems related to bowel movements and other problems. A doctor told my sister that if she drank 8 glasses of water per day that she would probably never have kidney problems.

Likewise, adequate hydration via 8 glasses of water per day can take some of the load off the kidneys. However, the concept behind the radio-doctor's statements relative to "lots of bowel problems" and "never have kidney problems" is pretty overstated. HMc Thank you for the responses. I am 51 year old and I didn't mention that most of the time when I am having a stool I have to stay longer on the sit and my rectums (left side) pops out (quite a big bubble) and when it did happen first time I end up in the emergency room and doctor pushed it back. I have heard that hot water (Jacuzzi) is good for it, and I have been going to Jacuzzi every second day since then, but I am still having that problem. I have to push it back almost every time I've had a stool, and I feel uncomfortable for some time after that. It could be one of the reasons why I am withholding the stool John > Thank you for the responses.

It > could be one of the reasons why I am withholding the stool That additional bit of history makes it all the more unconscionable that a colonoscopy wasn't arranged. Unless you've had one in the last couple of years, your doctor really dropped the ball. HMc > Thank you for the responses.

It's obvious that your bowel problems are directly related to the problem mentioned above. Until your doctor or doctors are able to solve this problem--it's my guess that you will continue to have problems with your bowel movements. You should ask your doctor to refer you to a specialist. A protologist is a doctor that specializes in anal problems. SignatureNEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Jason, if a doctor responds to a post here, or ANYONE that's more knowledgeable than you on a given medical subject...why do you feel obliged to chime in? Your advice on this and other subjects is lame, incomplete and in most cases just plain wrong. You should not post medical advice here. Some posters may not understand that you don't know what you're talking about. No offense meant. HMc > > Thank you for the responses.

John, I wanted to add that I would met an older man (probably at least 65 years old) that was not allowed to eat any regular food. He had to eat baby food and drink little cans of special food that you can buy in a drug store. I don't remember the brand name of the little cans. I once purchased 6 cans and tried them. It tasted like a chocolate milk shake. It had lots of vitimins mixed in the drink. You might want to ask your doctor if you should use such a diet until your problem is solved by a specialist.
