Is 1 inch diameter thin for a stool?is mucus in stool anxiety related-ibs? i am 25 and no other symptomes than thin stool and mucus
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1" may not be small: A primary care doctor of a G.I. Doctor can evaluate by getting all the details and examining the anus and rectum. One inch doesn't sound too small. The doctor can discuss about the mucus to see if it is more than normal, which might suggest there is a problem.
