Question
Dear doctor,
I am in 9th grade; for the past few days I do not know why, but sometimes when I pass gas, loose stools come out, which makes me scared, and I do not dare to pass gas a lot. Can you tell me if there is a problem when I pass gas and loose stools come out? Is it dangerous, and how to treat it? Thank you, doctor.

Answered by doctors from the Department of Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec International Hospital in Hai Phong.
Dear customer,
With the question "Is it okay when I pass gas and loose stools come out?" the doctor would like to answer as follows:
When passing gas and loose stools come out: It could be because the stool is loose (normally stools are in molded form). When passing gas, there is often a pushing motion to let the gas out, so the loose stools also come out, or because the tone of the anal sphincter is reduced.
You should see a gastroenterologist to diagnose the cause and have appropriate treatment.
If you still have questions about passing gas and having loose stools, you can go to a hospital in the Vinmec Health System for further examination and consultation. Thank you for your trust and for sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Sincerely!
