A member asked:
Is it possible to have unilateral rectal paralysis, leaving stool thin and odd shaped due to one side of rectal wall not relaxing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: You are young, but "pencil thin" stools are frequently caused by something blocking the way out, and cancer is one of the most common things that can do this. Keep your stools as soft as possible by eating fruits, vegetables, fiber and drinking lots of water. Then see a clinic, PLEASE.
