A member asked:
Is it dangerous to strain on the toilet from a bowel movement?? i'm only 20 but i strain pretty hard every time i try to poop
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Straining : Indicates constipation and is not good for you. Drink80-100 oz of caffeine free/alcohol free fluid per day, 20 oz more for every 30 minutes of exercise.
