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?

It's understandable to be concerned, but thin stools alone are not necessarily a sign of rectal cancer. After a fissurectomy, changes in stool consistency can happen due to factors like diet or healing. However, if you notice other symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent pain, or unexplained weight loss, it's important to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.
