I have been having constipation for many years now. I'd gone through a lot to have my bowel movement regulate as normally as possible and there are many a times where i can not make business for more than two weeks, and when it does wanna come out, i can cry endlessly in pain, trying to either push it out or it just can come out non stop in diarrhea effect mode. It takes a lot of effort for me.
Recently, i have been worried about the color of my stool and its texture. It was rather pale, almost yellow-ish and very soft. It happened for 2 consecutive days and I got scared. So i Google-d "yellow stool in adults". The results are mad scary. The cause of yellow stool was either bacterial infections in the intestines, or one can get Pancreatic Cancer. Of course, i freaked out. I didn't wait no further, so the next morning i went to the polyclinic for more professional advice.
So, on the 28th May 2011. I visited Tampines Polyclinic to seek advice. Waited almost close to two hours for my number and about 5 mins in the doctor's room. Dr Patricia did ask about my stool color, texture and my constipation problem. She asked my to describe everything and be very specific with the color. Of course, its hard for me to describe coz my definition of yellow and her definition of yellow is different. So, she advice me to have a "diary" to keep track and monitor my bowel movement and its color/texture. If my stool are still pale within this week and next she advice me to come back to see her.
So this is it. I hope, who ever chance upon this blog and see nasty pictures of poop, please understand that this is the easiest method for me to keep track.
