Brief Answer: It is ok Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Stool impacted in intestines for long do take different shape as they have very less water. There is no need to worry. This does not indicate any problem. Do consume ample amount of water everyday and take Fiber supplements like Psyllium husk mixed with water or milk. Wish you good health. regards,
