For now, do nothing. Monitor only!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this change in stool that you have reported. If this is the first time, my recommendation is that we should monitor only. If it persists, then we would investigate further. If this is limited to a one time experience, in most cases they are explained by changes in diet than a real disease or ongoing disease process. If it has been longstanding, then we would look into. In most cases, no treatment is required and all returns very quickly to normal.
Quick question: When was the last time you had a screening colonoscopy? Have you ever had any abnormality reported on colonoscopy?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
