Been noticing that my stool has whole chunks of watermelon, tomatoes, and carrots in it for the past couple of days. Just got over a cold and was taking Cefixine as prescribed by my doctor. This all started happening after that. It's not like they're partially digested; they're whole pieces. Should I be worried about this? Never had anything like this before. What do you think could be going on?

Is it OK to remove stool with finger?

Manual evacuation of stool with finger may be done sometimes but it can cause trauma and anal bleeding if more force is used. It is always better to visit a nearest doctor who can safely help in removing stools.

My dad is 77 and had bypass surgery 25 years ago he's now dealing with bleeding piles and really bad burning around his anus. What can we do to help ease his discomfort?

For bleeding piles and discomfort, increasing fiber intake, using topical creams, and sitting in warm water baths may help. If symptoms persist, a doctor may recommend surgical procedures like hemorrhoidectomy.
