Whether a long stool is normal or not depends on the color and shape. A normal stool is yellow and very soft, and no change in color or shape is normal. However, when there is a change in stool form and color, other factors need to be considered. Dry stools may be caused by constipation, and unformed stools may be caused by gastrointestinal disorders. Constipation can be diagnosed by the number and state of bowel movements. After diagnosis, take laxative medication and drink honey water for treatment, and you will see the effect in about three days. If you are diagnosed with gastrointestinal dysfunction, you should take medication to regulate gastrointestinal function and promote gastric motility, and your stools will return to normal in about a week. When the color of the stool changes, it is important to consider the condition of gastrointestinal bleeding, when the color of the stool will be very dark, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by gastroscopy and the patient’s self-report. After treatment for the cause, the color and shape of the stool can be restored.
