Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these spheres that you have described and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Spheres in stool are not typical and most often than not, they represent transient and not significant findings in relation to a specific disease condition. For this reason, I will suggest that you monitor your stool and make sure that this observation is real and not a false alarm.
If this should persist, only then and at that time will I recommend further aggressive evaluation commencing with a comprehensive examination and stool testing. I hope to hear back from you and promise to work with you through this.
I hope this guides. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
