What’s the cause of the flattened stools?



Thin and flat stools may be related to intestinal inflammation, hemorrhoids, colorectal tumors and other reasons.

1. Intestinal inflammation: such as proctitis can lead to swelling of the intestinal mucosa, the phenomenon of thinning and flattening of the stool.

2. Hemorrhoids: If you suffer from hemorrhoids, due to the protrusion of hemorrhoids into the intestinal lumen, the stool in the intestinal lumen can be squeezed, resulting in a change of shape, and the symptoms of thin and flat stools may occur.

3. Colorectal tumor: If rectal cancer is found, the tumor body obviously protrudes into the intestinal cavity, which can squeeze and change the shape of the stools, resulting in the phenomenon of flattened stools.

It is suggested that people with flat stool should go to regular hospitals in time to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors, so as to avoid the delay of the disease and bring adverse effects to the body.
