Stool and Digital Evacuation
Everyday, I notice my stool is paste-like and find it difficult to pass. I have to manually insert my finger to evacuate the stool as it gets stuck in the passage. I find there is more stool stuck deep inside the passage and I have to manually evacuate that too. I'm strictly only eating a wholesome, plant based, fibre rich homemade food. Still I face this problem. Everyday, I have to strain and use finger to evacuate. I have done sigmoidoscopy and the diagnosis is erythema at 5cm from posterior wall. Please advise.
We need to know how long you have had this distressing problem, a focussed history and ofcourse examination, blood reports like thyroid etc. You need to be evaluated by someone with special interest in colorectal surgery as further work up in the form of defaecography and anorectal manometry may be needed.
