View allI've been having narrow stools for about a month now. They're not super thin, but definitely thinner than they used to be. Sometimes they go back to a normal size, but other times they're still pretty narrow. Should I be concerned about this?
It's important to rule out any underlying causes. I recommend you try using a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with your symptoms. Take 100mg of Colace orally once a day. Additionally, increase your fiber intake and stay hydrated to promote healthy bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, consider seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
