Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Dry stools may be associated with the following causes:
1. Insufficient daily water intake combined with reduced food consumption can lead to dry stools.
2. A low dietary fiber intake may slow colonic transit, resulting in constipation and dry stools. Under a physician’s guidance, osmotic laxatives such as lactulose may be used for treatment.
