Hyperthyroidism can cause sticky stools.
Patients with hyperthyroidism have high concentrations of thyroid hormones, which leads to hypermetabolism. At this time, the gastrointestinal tract moves faster, and then diarrhea or increased frequency of stools may occur, and when diarrhea occurs, stools may not be shaped, and may be viscous, so hyperthyroidism may cause viscous stools.
In addition to the above symptoms, patients with hyperthyroidism may also experience tachycardia, weight loss, hyperphagia, insomnia, irritability, fear of heat, excessive sweating, trembling hands, protruding eyes, and goiter, among other symptoms.
It is recommended to visit a hospital when symptoms of hyperthyroidism are suspected, and the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism should be treated under a doctor’s supervision.
