I had a fissurectomy about a year ago, and lately, I've noticed that my stools are really thin. I was looking this up online and came across some scary stuff about rectal cancer. Could this be related or something I should be worried about?

Since your periods are delayed, take a pregnancy test to confirm, and consult your gynecologist for further advice.
