A member asked:
Been having diarrhea for the past day and only a lil comes out but it's pencil thin and have been very gassy and pucky feeling could this be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most unlikely: After diarrhea, little food, stool may be scanty and thin. If it returns to normal in a few days, not a problem. If thin stool continue for three-four days, have a rectal exam. Anal and rectal cancer very rare in 23 year old.
