What causes thin stools?

Thin, strip-like stools may be caused by intestinal lesions or external pressure on the intestines. In addition, the possibility of changes in dietary structure cannot be ruled out.

1. Intestinal lesions: If the patient has intestinal inflammatory stenosis or colon tumors, the stool may appear in thin strips and the shape of the stool may change. This is mainly caused by lesions in the intestine.

2. The intestine is under external pressure: If the patient has lesions in the organs adjacent to the intestine, or has prostate and bladder tumors, it may cause intestinal stenosis, which will cause the stool to appear in thin strips.

3. Changes in dietary structure: If there is a change in the dietary structure in life, or if you eat foods rich in crude fiber, it may cause the shape of the stool to change, and it may also cause the stool to become thin strips.

If you often have thin stools in your daily life, it is best to go to the hospital for a colonoscopy to clarify the specific conditions of the disease. This will allow for early diagnosis and early treatment, which is more conducive to the recovery and improvement of the body. It can also avoid worsening of the disease and avoid delaying the best treatment period.
