Hello,
As per my clinical experience, it indicates a possible issue with intestine flora mechanics from various causes. Primary care with dietary measures of high fiber and plenty of liquids, psyllium husk containing bulk-forming agents; secondary requirement of colonoscopy has to be decided depending upon the progress.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
