Is it OK to remove stool with finger?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Manual evacuation of stool with finger may be done sometimes but it can cause trauma and anal bleeding if more force is used. It is always better to visit a nearest doctor who can safely help in removing stools.

View allI'm a 21-year-old male and recently saw my doctor for abdominal pain. He had me get an abdominal ultrasound, and while most things looked normal, it mentioned that there are gas-distended bowel loops in the lower abdomen. Is this something I should be worried about? My doctor gave me some medication called pansec and meftal spas. I'm really curious to know why this is happening and what I can do to make it go away. Can you help me understand this better?

I have an 8mm gallstone and my doctor is recommending surgery right away but I'm wondering if I can try liver flush methods first instead is that safe or effective
Liver flushes are unproven and risky—8 mm gallstones often need surgery if symptomatic; don’t delay.
