How Can Colorectal Cancer Be Treated?
I have stage IV colorectal cancer. The polyp is preventing the passage of a stool. However, I do pass water regularly - often every 2 to 4 hours. I am having a stent introduced next week so medical treatment is in progress. My question is: does the water that I’m passing, along with very small amounts of poo, mew that I’m passing enough solids even if suspended in the water. Thank

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As long as you are passing stools and you are not experiencing abdominal pain or discomfort, it is indicative that you are having adequate bowel evacuation and there is nothing to be worried.
Hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if you need further clarification.
