Question 1

why does my butt and lower back hurt, also when i squeeze my butt muscles i can feel the pain, then when i take a bowel movement this pain gets better?

Accepted Answer

Low back pain: It's difficult to understand how a bowel movement relieves what appears to be chronic musculoskeletal discomfort of the lower spine. It could me that  relaxation of some degree of spasm occurs as you sit for a bowel movement. It's best to consult your physician for assessment of your lumbosacral spine and to report any bowel symptoms,if any.

Question 2

how do i take a poop?

Accepted Answer

If constipated?: Stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in. Stay physically active with regular exercise.  There are a number of over the counter laxatives that can be taken orally to help pass retained fecal matter.

Question 3

what can i take to make my poop regular?

Accepted Answer

TRY MIRALAX (polyethylene glycol): Very gentle supplement for your bowels.
One capful daily and plenty of water.
If problems continue, certain things need checked by your doctor, so stop by and see him if no better please.

Question 4

what can i take to make me poop more and softer?

Accepted Answer

Softer poop.: The first step is making sure you're taking in adequate fiber and water.  Without this, no other medication or supplement would help.  Drink enough water in the day so your urine looks almost clear.  And fiber is 35 grams daily for women and 50 grams daily for men.  Start with this.  Hope this helps.

Question 5

how much time will it take to poop out a small usb?

Accepted Answer

GI transit...: "normal" frequency ranges (in a bell-curve distribution) from three movements daily to one every three to four days.  The speed of emptying of the GI tract can be accelerated with laxatives if warranted.

Question 6

why am i always having to squeeze alot just to get my poop out?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Constipation is when the feces/poop are hard and large, and can cause difficulty in having a bowel movement. Drinking lots of fluids and eating lots of fiber can help, and over-the-counter laxatives are effective if the initial methods don't work.  Try not to strain too hard as that can cause hemorrhoids (they are enlarged veins in the anal region) to form.

Question 7

my poop has been green for three days. what can i take for this?

Accepted Answer

Why: There is no need to take anything just because the color of the stool has changed. Probably excess bile or something you ate.

Question 8

when i poop it bleeds and hurts bad. is there anything otc to take for this?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities...: Consider anal fissure, internal hemorrhoid(s), proctitis (inflamed rectum), anal abscess or fistula, juvenile retention polyp, trauma to the anal canal, skin changes around the anus (benign or malignant). The only way to find out, and to start appropriate treatment, is to get examined. See your doctor please. Blood is a warning sign here.

Question 9

am trying to have a baby but i take time to poop does it have any effect on my body?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Taking time to poop would not affect your health or reproductive ability. You should see a doctor and take pre-natal vitamins and get a general check up.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 10

is it  normal to poop assoon as your doneeating likeonce u finish youmeal you go take a poop?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Eating stimulates "peristalsis" which means the intestines are moving food along. If you have stool near the end of the intestinal tract, you will have a bowel movement.

If you are having more than 2-3 bowel movements per day, diarrhea, pain, or blood in the stool, talk to your doctor about IBD and colitis.
