A member asked:
Very good morning doctors. how many days would be considered too many days to go without having a bowel movement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel movement frequency is highly individualized, and some people only go once or twice a week, which can be normal for them. If you notice a change in your bowel habits, discuss that with your family physician. Good luck.

My husband is 38 this morning he had a good amount of blood when he had a bowel movement. No pain but hes not a fan of doctors. What could this be?
Good morning doctors. I had not had a bowel movement since this past Wednesday. I took Miralax and had a bowel movement. My question is should stop taking the Miralax unless I have another issue or do I continue to take Miralax and if so for how long?
Hi doctors. I have not had a bowel movement since Monday morning, although 3 days is not unusual for me. I have Colace and Miralax at home. Should I take either of these, or something else, and how do I know when I should discontinue the medication?
Good evening doctors. Can you use Colace if you have not had a bowel movement in 3 to 4 days? Is Miralax better? Is there something better than Miralax?
