Of great importance – suggesting the probable causes of the observed gastrointestinal dysfunction – are changes in the appearance of the stools. From the diagnostic and medical point of view, attention is paid to the frequency of stool passing, its consistency, color, content of food residues in it, the presence of fragments or whole parasites, admixture of blood, mucus, purulent contents, etc.
Discolored stool, called acholic, indicates the lack of bile supply to the gastrointestinal tract through the biliary tract, the presence of which in the faeces gives them a brown or brown color.
Throne TZW. laurel, expressed in the form of smaller or larger lumps, indicates increased contractile tension of the colon wall, and in connection with increased nervous excitability, constipation and aches and pains on the periphery of the abdominal cavity, it suggests spastic colitis.
Throne formed into a thin bowel, the so-called pencil (to emphasize the approximate cross-section of the excreted fecal masses), may prove – with the simultaneous difficulties in its excretion – about various obstacles. Therefore, the lower gastrointestinal tract requires urgent examination.
