Hard dark and Light stools?!
Question:
Hard dark and Light stools?
Not the nicest topic but recently my stools have been small hard lumps clumped together. Some are dark, some a pretty light, and often have some mucus on them.
Should I be worried?
Answers:
sounds like you are not hydrated enough and that you may be a little constipated.
Mucous does not mean cancer!
Are the stools black? If so then are you on iron supplements? If not then black stools can be a sign of old blood so you would need to see your GP without delay.
It sounds like to me you may be constipated/irritable bowel. try increasing your fluid intake and fibre content. get your 5 s day. If things have not improved in a fortnight then see your GP.
