A member asked:
Is going to the toilet to poop only once a week a problem? i don't feel any pain but i just don't have the urge.

No: If once weekly bowel movements have been normal for you for some time, especially if you are not uncomfortable, then there are no worries. If this is a new change for your bowel habits, then this needs further investigation, and warrants a trip to see your doctor.
