A member asked:
I'm 36. lately stool looks different every day... no blood but some days it's smaller, shorter, thinner and other days longer or thicker. sometimes feel like anus doesn't relax/close after bm. could anxiety cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All this sounds like normal variation in colonic function and defecation. Or maybe irritable bowel syndrome. Almost certainly nothing dangerous.
