Green Stool, What Stool Color Says About Your Health

Hello, this is Bade Clinic, a place that adds beauty ✨

Everyone has bowel movements. Did you know that you can check your health status through your stool?

Healthy stool is typically about 2 cm thick, elongated, and golden in color.

Most of stool is made up of water, and the rest consists of waste left after being absorbed in the intestines and intestinal bacteria.

The reason stool is yellowish-brown is bile released from the liver and gallbladder.

If your stool color looks unusual one day, you should look back and see whether there has been any change in your health.

Q.

What are the characteristics of dark brown stool?

If the stool color is dark and dull,

constipation may be suspected.

The reason the color becomes darker is because it has stayed in the intestines for a long time,

causing it to darken.

If it stays in the large intestine for a long time,

water is excessively absorbed, making the stool

look darker and deeper in color.

In this case, constipation often occurs,

If you have dark brown stool,

it is good to manage constipation with exercise and dietary habits that promote bowel activity.

People with severe constipation can get help from internal medicine, pediatrics, or family medicine.

Q.

What are the characteristics of red stool?

If you saw red stool,

it may be because you ate spicy food the day before,

or it may be bloody stool caused by lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

If you often see bloody stool, you should definitely see a specialist.

Bloody stool is a characteristic of inflammatory bowel diseases such as enteritis or ulcerative colitis,

and it is typically accompanied by bloating, pain, and diarrhea.

Q.

What are the characteristics of green stool?

Green stool can be quite surprising the first time you see it,

but there is no need to be too alarmed.

It may simply be because you ate a lot of green vegetables.

Or the food you ate may have passed through your digestive system too quickly.

In the case of bile, as it passes through the intestines, it changes from green -> yellow -> brown.

Situations that shorten digestion include diarrhea while traveling, food allergies,

food poisoning, inflammatory bowel disease, and the use of laxatives.
