Feces that look like sludge may be the result of unformed stools, which may be caused by physiological reasons such as a cold abdomen or pathological reasons such as acute gastroenteritis and hyperthyroidism.
1. Physiological reasons: cold abdomen, eating stimulating food leads to faster intestinal peristalsis, the feces is not fully reabsorbed water before discharge, will be the state of sludge.
2. Acute gastroenteritis: mostly caused by unhygienic diet or cold and other factors, resulting in localized inflammatory infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract, mucous membrane and submucosal tissue congestion and edema, resulting in increased pressure in the gastrointestinal tract, combined with accelerated gastrointestinal peristalsis, the feces are discharged without being shaped, and are in the form of sludge.
3. Hyperthyroidism: excessive secretion of thyroid hormone, resulting in accelerated metabolism, gastrointestinal peristalsis accelerated, fecal matter is not shaped to be discharged, in the form of sludge.
There may be other reasons why the stool looks like sludge, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor for targeted treatment or treatment.
