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.

I've been struggling with a weird issue for the past couple of months and could use some advice on what's going on. After every meal, I feel this strong urge to go to the bathroom, and while the stool seems normal, it still concerns me. To make things more confusing, sometimes after I clean up, that urge comes back, but nothing happens. I'm really getting worried about what could be causing this. Can you shed any light on what might be happening?
