I'm 25 years old, male. This morning after getting up and using the restroom, I noticed my stool was somewhat unformed and very sticky. I'd like to ask the doctor, what causes unformed stool?

Hello, 1. Acute gastroenteritis: Acute gastroenteritis is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. Appropriate treatment can be provided after diagnosis. 2. Improper diet: In daily life, there are actually many factors that can cause loose or unformed stools, such as irregular eating habits, overeating, and consuming indigestible foods, which can all lead to symptoms of indigestion. 3. Endocrine disorders: When there is an endocrine imbalance, symptoms such as loose or unformed stools may occur. 4. Anorectal polyps: In the early stages of anorectal polyps, there may be no significant symptoms, but as the condition progresses, frequent diarrhea and loose, unformed stools may develop. I hope my answer can help you. Wishing you good health and a pleasant life.
