Is it normal to poop 5 times a day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There is no normal bowel movement. It can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your normal pattern may be different from these numbers. If you have always been having five bowel movements daily then it is normal pattern for you. But, if this is a new change along with change is stool consistency then you might be having any intestinal infection or disease for which you need to consult a doctor.

View allI'm experiencing some weird stuff lately and I'm a bit worried. I have this strange pain around my left breast and the left side of my chest, and it's been quite constant. I've also been dealing with a lot of post-nasal drip and burping, plus this odd flapping sensation on the left side of my abdomen. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

I'm worried about my mom. This morning, she noticed her stool was black, and I can't help but be concerned. She's been going to the bathroom a lotlike 34 timesbut there's no diarrhea or pain. Should I be worried about this? Plus, the last month has been really tough for her since she hasn't been eating or sleeping well after my uncle died. Does this sound normal, or should we be looking into what's going on with her? What could be the reason for the black stool?

Hey, so I've got some bilirubin levels here, and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My Bilirubin Total is 1.95, Bilirubin Direct is 0.57, and Bilirubin Indirect is 1.38. I'm not sure if these numbers are something I should be worried about. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should talk to about this?
Consult with a Gastroenterologist or Hepatologist: This will help determine the underlying cause of your elevated bilirubin levels. Further Testing: The doctor might suggest tests such as liver function tests, ultrasound, or CT scans of the liver and biliary system to investigate the source of the issue. Lifestyle Adjustments: Depending on the cause, your doctor may recommend dietary changes, avoiding alcohol, or medication. If you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, abdominal pain, or fatigue, be sure to mention these when you consult your doctor.
