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 20 years old and have a height of 5'10'' with a weight of 91 kg. About 4 months ago, I got a checkup, and everything was normal with my ECG and 2d Echo no cholesterol or sugar issues. The only thing was my vitamin B levels were at 93. Lately, I've been experiencing this strange pain every night in my left abdomen, right below the ribs, and sometimes I feel pain in my shoulder, neck area, and even in my arms on the left side. These pains come and go quickly, but the abdomen pain sticks around a little longer. I also have acidity and get reflux at night, with the pain happening around the same time when I'm just settling in bed. I'm just wondering if there's anything I should be concerned about with these symptoms or if there's something I can do to feel better.
Acidity could be the probable cause of your chest pain. U can take tab pan d, orally ,before food for atleast 2 weeks, avoid spicy foods,junk foods and alcohol,.

I'm worried about elevated liver enzymes and wondering if it's safe to take both sorbiline and Udiliv together. Is it okay to have sorbiline in the morning and Udiliv at night?

my wife has a gallstone and we're really worried about it. should we see a specialist or can a regular doctor handle this? is surgery the only way to treat it or are there medicines that can dissolve the stones? what are our options here
It's understandable to be worried about gallstones. While a regular doctor can diagnose and manage gallstones, a gastroenterologist or surgeon specializing in gallbladder issues can offer specialized treatment options. Surgery (cholecystectomy) is often recommended for symptomatic gallstones, but medication and other procedures may be considered.
