The stool smells sour

People attach great importance to any changes in their bodies, because many symptoms are actually signals of disease, and if you don't pay attention to them, treatment may be delayed. As we all know, normal people's feces have a bad smell, but some people find that their feces smell sour, which is completely different from normal, and they will panic. So, what exactly causes sour smell in stool?

Cancer phobia is the fear that you have cancer, but you often think that you have cancer. People who suffer from cancer phobia think they have cancer whenever they feel any physical discomfort. Some people believe that sour-smelling stool is a sign of cancer. In fact, stool normally smells bad. Stool with a sour smell is really strange, but it does not mean that it is cancer. The stools of people with cancer do not necessarily have a sour taste.

Sour-smelling stools may also be caused by eating a lot of acidic food, which was not completely digested in the stomach and was directly discharged from the bladder, and then directly discharged from the body. Since the acidity of the food has not been digested, that is, the stool still retains the acidity of the food, so the stool smells sour. This situation does exist, and it is not cancer.

Of course, if you have not eaten acidic foods and your stool suddenly becomes sour, there is also the possibility of cancer. However, if we want to determine whether we really have cancer, we still need to confirm it from many aspects before we can confirm it and draw a conclusion. The best way to deal with this situation is to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. The doctor will make a reasonable judgment based on your actual situation. Don't conclude that you have cancer just because your stool smells sour.

Generally speaking, stool is smelly rather than sour. However, if you have eaten a lot of acidic food on the same day or in the past two days, the excrement may be sour. This does not mean that you have cancer. Of course, people with cancer may also have sour-smelling stools, but no one can be sure whether sour-smelling stools mean they have cancer. The best way to deal with this situation is to go to the hospital and consult a doctor.
