Hello, I am Dr. Charles Mano Sylus, consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon in Fortis Hospital Vadapalani Chennai and I can Help You. You have beautifully presented your case, and it looks like more of constipation related issues. First of all in order for stools to be soft and pass freely the amount of water you need to consume is around 3 Litres minimum and plenty of high fibre diet of fruits and green leafy vegetables like a big bowl per day. If you do this life style modification daily, for sure your stool problem will get solved. Secondly, if it doesn't solve your trouble, then you do a few blood tests to see your
electrolytes,
thyroid, sugars and if needed a CT abdomen or a colonoscopy to rule out any problems with the large intestine. Hope this was helpful.
