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.

I've been dealing with this chest pain for quite a while now and it's really starting to worry me. It feels like something in the middle of my chest is hurting a lot. Plus, I sometimes vomit, which burns my chest and inner neck really bad. Mornings are especially tough because I often feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm just trying to figure out why I'm experiencing this and what I can do to make it better. Any insights would be greatly appreciated because this is becoming really stressful.

But I'm curiousare there any specific dietary changes or precautions I should be taking to ensure it doesn't get worse? Should I be abstaining from certain foods or activities? I'd appreciate any advice or guidance you can offer!
