It is normal for stools to be a foot long.
A stool that is a foot long indicates that the stool is of a soft, formed nature and is a normal stool pattern. The shape of the stool varies from person to person and can be long or short. Normal stools are yellowish-brown, soft, formed stools, about 200 to 300 grams per discharge, once every 1 to 2 days.
When the form of stool is dry and hard and spherical, it means that there may be constipation; when the number of stools increases, not shaped or watery stools, it suggests that gastrointestinal dysfunction can be seen in patients with diarrhea; when there is pus and blood in the stools or when defecation is painful, it is important to be vigilant against the occurrence of intestinal cancer.
Therefore, in daily life, we should pay close attention to the shape and frequency of stools, and go to the hospital in time if there is any abnormality.
