scratch and dent

Posted 02.21.2007 by Motherload (940)
Josh asks:

I recently noticed that there was an indentation in my poops. Its not very deep, but it is noticeable and runs along the entire length of my poop. What could be causing this? I've never noticed it before, and I always look at my poop.

Dear Josh,

Something is apparently sticking out in the passage as the poop passes by. Since the indentation is visible down the entire length of the poo, I think it would be safe to assume that whatever is in the way is probably close to the rectum, since the poop has to have been fairly well formed already for this to be clearly visible.

It could be an internal hemorrhoid that has swollen and hardened enough to scrape off the poop instead of bursting open and bleeding all over it.

The other possibility is that it is a polyp or tumor somewhere along the intestinal lumen, most likely in the colon or rectum. These can be benign or cancerous and need to be investigated by a doctor as soon as possible to determine which, and what type of treatment is needed.

A trip to the doctor is definitely called for in this case. Any time something is interfering with the finished product of your poop factory, it is time for an inspection of the plant.

Thanks for asking Motherload!

Even though the answer to most questions people ask of Motherload is "go see your doctor," it's actually very interesting to see exactly what constitoots a poomergency.

I honestly didn't know that having oddly shaped poop could be a sign of a major problem. Sure is a good thing Motherload's so smart.

I would go with the hemmy explanation for this one. Even if you aren't having any blood, it could be a swollen spot that may some day pop. As Motherload says, it might be a good idea to get it looked at. Even if it's not serious, the blood explosion can be startling and you might want some advanced warning before you panic.

You should think twice, Josh, before engaging in a drive-by turding. The local police may be able to identify you by the rifling of your poop cannon.

Wow. This is the EXACT question I was going to submit. There must be a rash of indented poop going around.

Maybe you swallowed something that hung up near the your bung hole.

Wow, dented poop, what a downer, I had a poop keyed by some vandal last week, I feel your pain.

I think I could believe the 'roid explanantion causing the dent in the poop log. I'd hope it's nothing more serious than that. An inspection by the sphincter meter reader is definitely in order!

Apparently one of the poop factory employees are upset, and is sabotaging the poop as it is being exported. My advice is to see a doctor. Once the problem is found, poop factory management will charge the culprit with ass-ault, and eventual discharge.

Thanks for this site. I also have indentations in my poop. I starts at the top and goes all the way to the bottom. I noticed a few weeks back but it is not always there just sometimes. I think it may be a 'roid?
