A member asked:
Bowel movement is becoming increasingly difficult. i have an internal hemmoroid that i can feel. could this be blocking stool and making it thin?

Get checked: Possibly - 47 year old male with change in bowel habit - the safest answer is to get a thorough eval with med history, exam, and possible sigmoidoscopy or more. Pain, diet changes, new medications - pain meds/cold meds/allergy meds, dehydration, and many other things could be the cause.
