Most doctors do not ask you about your routine. They may think that it is not necessary to have a bowel movement every day. In fact, some doctors think it is okay to have 2-3 bowel movements a week. If you urinate one, two or more times a day, you may still have constipation. If you leave sewage near the walls of your colon because you are not eating enough fiber this is considered constipation. Remember that constipation is the elimination of all the waste that passes your colon from the food you ate during the previous meal. If you sit on the toilet and you have to sit there for 5-10 minutes pushing, pulling, or in pain to empty your bowels, it means you have constipation. Struggling to get a bowel movement, over time, leads to hemorrhoids, varicose veins, or cracks. If you eat three times a day, you should empty your bowels three times a day. The first bowel movement should occur in the morning when you wake up or immediately after breakfast. Normally you should feel the urge to empty your bowels 20-30 minutes after eating. Other bowel movements should be during the day and just before bedtime. In his book, Healthy Digestion the Natural way, 2000, D. Lindsey Berkson describes constipation as, “A healthy person should have at least one bowel movement per day. Medical literature states that the individual varies from several times a day to several times a week. However, having worked with people for many years to improve their health, I would describe constipation as having one to several bowel movements daily, or having a very long bowel movement. ” If you eat three times a day and only have one. or two bowel movements, and then the second and third meals support your colon and stay there for a very long time. If your fecal matter stays too long in your colon, water and toxins are excreted in the wild and absorbed by the wall of your colon. This makes fecal matter stronger and harder. Your colon will now have a hard time moving this solid fecal substance through its phases and out of the rectum. The result is puffiness and strain on the bathroom. What is regular bowel movement? Frequent diarrhea is a condition in which a person urinates more often than usual. There is no "normal" number of bowel movements. Most health care providers agree that the frequency of healthy bowel movements can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your 'normal' pattern may differ from these numbers. To say that a person's bowel movement has always been based on an increase in that person's normal pattern, not in the general definition that applies to everyone. he two main conditions of bowel movement are constipation (less than three bowel movements per week) and diarrhea (more than three bowel movements per day). Who is affected by frequent bowel movements? Bowel syndrome usually occurs in both men and women of any age. How is a bowel movement diagnosed? In cases where the cause of the frequent bowel movements is unknown, your doctor will ask you the following: time for your last bowel movement, how often do you urinate? seat adjustment (liquid or vertical), if there is blood around or on the chair, if you bleed in the rectum, if you are dizzy or have cramps, pain, fever or nausea, what foods and drinks do you consume? if you have ever had recent changes in your weight, the medicine you take, if and when you recently visited. The doctor will perform a physical examination and may order blood and feces tests, urine tests, and X-rays. How is frequent bowl movement treated? Mild diarrhea can be treated with over-the-counter medications, such as Pepto-Bismol®, Modium A-D® and Kaopectate®. These are available as fluids or pills. Follow the instructions on the package. Caution: do not take anti-diarrheal drugs if a bacterial or parasitic infection is a suspected cause (symptoms include fever or bloody stools). It is important to allow germs or parasites to pass through the digestive system.
