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.

I've been experiencing something weird and it's kinda worrying me. Every time I masturbate, the next day I feel this horrible indigestion and sometimes end up vomiting, plus there's this numb feeling. It's strange because even if my stomach is empty, I still feel like throwing up. And it takes about 4 to 5 days to get back to normal. Does this sound familiar to you or do you know what might be causing this?

I've just gotten over typhoid fever, but I'm really struggling because my appetite hasn't come back at all. I'm kind of worried and not sure what steps I should take to get my hunger back. I'm only able to handle a liquid diet right now. Any advice on what I could do or how long it might take to start feeling hungry again?

give it time: Recovery from typhoid fever can take a few weeks, and regaining appetite may take a bit longer. Start slow: Gradually increase the complexity and quantity of your diet as your body adjusts. Stay hydrated and focus on easily digestible foods for the time being.
