A member asked:
Is there a name for obsessively studying ones stool out of fear of disease? and what should one do about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The best term for this would be coprophilia which is obsessive fascination for feces. This can involve sexual fascination as well. Treatment involves therapy with cognitive and behavioral aspects.
