A member asked:
If im suffering from impacted stool and passing very dark brown (not black) pebble sized stool does that mean its close to passing out of my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have bad constipation but not as severe as fecal impaction. With fecal impaction, only does clear liquid leak around the impacted stool, not able to pass out pebble sized stool as you did. I think you get over with it soon. Take preventive measures: good hydration, increase high fiber foods, avoid foods or fruits which can exacerbate the problem and maintaining an active life style.
