A member asked:
I excrete (poop) only 2-3 times a week, is this bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be normal.: If this has been your pattern for a long time and it is not changed, and if you feel fine, without abdominal pain or other signs or symptoms, it is fine. You don't need any tests done. You should have a colonoscopy done at age 50, or sooner if you have any family history of colon problems. Good luck.
