A member asked:
I have chronic, severe constipation. abdominal ct revealed "moderate amount of stool in rectum." does this represent an impaction? how to relieve it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stool in rectum: The best way to find out what this represents is to discuss it with the medical provider who ordered the study. He or she will be able to take your history, physical examination into consideration when evaluating the abdominal CT findings. Take care.
