Normally, a healthy person's stool should be brown or yellow. If the stool is abnormal, it may also mean abnormal physical health, especially dietary problems. If you eat bad food, spoiled food, or food that is difficult to digest, the stool may be abnormal. For example, some people will find that there is white sticky substance in their stool. What causes this? Changes in stool color are closely related to disease. White or grayish white: indicates bile duct obstruction, possible gallstones, bile duct tumors, or pancreatic head cancer. In addition, grayish white stools can also be seen after barium meal radiography, which is not physiological stool caused by disease. White rice-washing water (i.e., feces that are white turbid liquid like rice-washing water) in large quantities is common in cholera. White greasy: large amount and with foul odor, commonly seen in pancreatic diarrhea or malabsorption syndrome. White mucus: It may indicate chronic enteritis, intestinal polyps and tumors. Dark yellow: It can be caused by congenital defects of red blood cells, hemolytic bacterial infection, malignant malaria, blood transfusion with the wrong blood type, poisoning by certain chemicals or toxins, various immune reactions (including autoimmunity), etc. Secondly, white discharge in the stool indicates gastrointestinal dysfunction and does not rule out colitis. White foamy stool: The stool is very light in color with a layer of white greasy substance floating on it. It is often a manifestation of indigestion syndrome and is common in young children and patients with pancreatic dysfunction. From the above analysis, we can conclude that white secretions in the stool indicate that there is a disease in our body. It is very necessary to go to the hospital for stool tests. At the same time, barium meals, colonoscopy, abdominal CT and abdominal B-ultrasound can more intuitively check which organ in the body has a problem, so as to detect and treat it in time. The so-called three-point treatment and seven-point care, a reasonable diet, regular work and rest, a combination of work and rest, and emotional adjustment are so important to us. Please cherish our capital. |
