A member asked:
I am using finger to remove stool some times. will it create any problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: such degree constipation needs to be addressed - rule out underlying reversible causes such as medication side effects, thyroid/diabetes, dyssynergia (motility problem), inadequate fiber and fluids in diet, etc. Happy to provide consult. Removal w finger clearly not a long-term solution, at risk for creating fissures (tears), hemorrhoids, bleeding, etc. Should seek advice from MD to better manage.
