stool with track

I know you are looking for answers but posting a link to an image of your stool is not something we can allow. It is just too explicit. Perhaps you should show the picture to your doctor.

IMHO there is a place and time for pictures or images like that, but elsewhere. Not here.

by track i mean groove in the length of my stool. i have hemorrhoids but not sure if this is the reason.
grooves occur mainly when i have soft stools.

today i went to my family doctor. she did a finger check and said i have internal and external hemorrhoids.
she said no need for other tests.

yes, i told her. she told me that i am making myself too much worried and hence let us consider a colonoscopy if you want but she said she does not suggest since there may be some complications in some case during colonoscopy. i said then if not necessary let us not consider.

I had streaks of blood on stool when strained or during hard stools.
I went to confirm that these are due to hemorrhoids or not.
In fact, I did an observation that without any strain or hard stool no blood on the surface.

interestingly, i relaxed after talking with my family doctor and my symptoms during the day dramatically chanced. I had a pain also in the right quadrant and this diminished, gas and bloating diminished.
From my observations I saw clearly how stress and anxiety is affecting ibs.
