Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's thick. What's going on?

Stool sometimes fine and sometimes coarse may be caused by eating fiber food, water intake, intestinal peristalsis and other reasons.

1, eating fiber food

If the fiber intake in the diet is low, stool may become finer, on the contrary, if the diet is rich in fiber, stool may become coarser.

2, water intake

If the water intake is insufficient, stool may become dry and induration, thus becoming finer, and adequate water intake helps to maintain the moisture content of stool, making it easier to pass through the intestine, so stool may become coarser.

3, intestinal peristalsis

intestinal peristalsis faster, food and waste may pass through the intestine quickly, stool may be finer, and intestinal peristalsis slower, food and waste in the intestine for a longer time, stool may be coarser.

It is recommended that patients with different stool thickness should check the cause with the help of a doctor, and actively cooperate with the treatment of a professional doctor.
