Ask
Hello doctor,
My husband often has signs of pasty stools. My husband goes out 1-2 times / day, sometimes it goes away on its own, sometimes it happens. My husband had a history of colon polyp removal nearly 4 years ago. So the doctor asked me what is the condition of the pasty stools being a sign of disease? Thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question “What is the state of pasty stools a sign of disease? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Colon polyp is a benign disease if it has been removed. However, your husband has symptoms of pasty stools, you should check your diet to see if your husband drinks a lot of alcohol, eats a lot of greasy food or not. You can also give your husband a probiotic supplement.
If you have changed everything and still have symptoms, you can take your husband to a medical facility for more specific advice.
If you still have questions about the condition of pasty stools, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
