I don't defecate often. sometimes it happens in a gap of 2-3 days. anything to be worried about? no pain nothing, constipation is there though.

Don't worry: if they come on a regular basis one every 2-3 days it ok. on the other hand if you want to hurry up just eat a lot of fiber and apple sause and prune juice (ugh) you will go more frequently.
