What's going on when it's soft?

1. Dietary factors

If dietary fiber intake is insufficient or water is insufficient, stool may become dry. On the contrary, intake of sufficient fiber and water can increase the volume of stool and keep it soft.

2. Digestive problems

Intestinal infections, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal flora imbalance, etc., can affect the normal function of the intestine, resulting in soft stool texture.

3. Drug use

Improper use of antibiotics, diuretics, analgesics and other drugs by patients may lead to slow intestinal motility or increased water absorption, resulting in soft stool.

It is

recommended that patients with soft stool symptoms need to go to the hospital for examination and actively cooperate with doctors according to specific reasons.
