A member asked:

Normal color stool, diarrhea and constipation, tiny bit of pain when stool comes out, using bathroom twice per day, is this normal for a 16 year old?

Dr. Ashwin Patel answered

Yes.: All the symptoms are normal except for pain. It might be from hemorrhoids or a fissure in the anal area. Increase fiber intake in your food by eating more of vegetables, salads, and fruits. If pain persists after one week then go see a doctor.
