Bowel Movement?!

Bowel Movement?

I just wanted to know if its normal to not have bowel movements for a long period of time. When I say long I mean and average of between 4-7 days. I am asking now because I haven't had a movement since last Monday which makes it 9 days now. I mean the reason I don't have one for a few days at least is because I don't go unless I really really feel like I have to go. So I just wanted to know if I should try and go even when I don't really feel like it or if I should just wait for it.

Lol, After reading this I suddenly had a strong urge to go and did go. So I am god for today and will definitely be going every day. And my final question is if I start going every day now will there be no lasting effects from when I went less often or should I be find if I go every day from now on?

First thing, dont try and force it because you could cause damage and bleed from the anus. Your diet is very important to keeping healthy bowel movement. Eating plenty vegetables and fruit can insure that you have healthy bowels, whilst drinking plenty of water not only helps the bowels but helps flush the toxins from your system.

It is not uncommon to go without a movement for a period of days but my suggestion is this: seek advice from a medical practioner, a doctor will be able to rule out other problems that could be causing you this lack of bowel movement and put your mind at rest.

Laxatives are a temporary solution to your problem and I wouldnt rely on them totally to help you go to the bathroom, you do need to see your doctor to rule out any underlying cause and I hope that you get sorted out soon!
