Dr. Mutlu:

Generally, a healthy stool looks like a sausage shape or a log shape type of stool that is several inches long, and it has a form or a shape when it is in the toilet water, and it typically doesn’t lose its shape immediately when it enters into the toilet bowl of water. And it’s typically easy to pass.
