HI,
I understand your concern.
Pencil thin stools with bloating suggests-
- Constipation due to-diet deficient in fibers or less water/ sedentary life style, lack of exercises,
- Problems of rectal inflammation like crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis.
-Narrowing of rectum by anorectal trauma or surgery,Enlarged prostate( male) some tumor, malignancy in rectum causing reduction of rectal canal size.
* You should consult a gastroenterologist/ get investigated & specifically treated. you may fut=rther be reffered to ano rectal surgeon for management.
Thanks.
