Do you examine your stools?

This question is pretty personal, but it's not a bad idea to check them out if you suspect something might be wrong. However, you don't always need to 'examine' them to know that something is not quite right, lol.

I sometimes do. But I think this is out of habit. I sometimes want to make sure that there isn't blood in my stools or on the tissue. Which could point to a more serious health issue.

Well, I observe them after going to the toilet as they lie in the toilet bowl before flushing. I also look on the toilet paper for any blood. Once a year, I send off a stool sample in a Bowel Cancer kit to a lab, just to be sure. Prevention is better than cure !!! If I do get it, at least it will be in the early stages then, and most likely treatable.

No, not unless I think something is wrong.

Hahah. Mr Hankie.

I always have a quick look. I have had bowel cancer, fortunately treated just by removing a polyp. I like to keep aware of whats going on in that dept.

I wish I could say no . . . but my mother the nurse was bowel obsessed and I do tend to take a peek. Of course, I have no idea what I'm looking for but maybe if you look regularly you would notice a difference and get it checked . . . .
