what is pencil stool and hemorrhoids?
During last month I have noticed than my stool has changed. Usually I would pass huge balls of waste, but for the last month my stool was pencil shaped. Very thin.I have hemorrhoids I would also feel abdominal pain that would disappear after passing stool. feeling as if you cannot empty my bowels completely..Any ideas on what this could be?i hate to think that it could be colon cancer?

Pencil stool would indicate that you have a bowel obstruction. Please have your doctor refer you for a colonoscopy. Don’t worry, everyone else will have to endure this procedure at some point in their lives also. Worrying will not help you – seek help, hopefully it will simply be a complication from hemorrhoids.
