A member asked:

I've been constipated for a few days but my stool is now softer and a bit longer but still sinks to the bottom of the toilet, am i still constipated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal range is...: Normal bowel frequency varies from 3 movements/ day to one movement every 3 to 4 days. Stool consistency, measured by bristol stool scale, varies from normal (4), hard (1-3), soft (5-7).Have ibs, colitis, infection been ruled out. Dietary fiber supplement may increase bulk and frequency. Bleeding, incontinence, pain needs evaluation right away.
