A member asked:

Can squatting to poop help with constipation? would a stool putting feet on help ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Squatting may help: Squatting is a natural position for pooping. Sitting on a toilet as if sitting on a chair is what we do in the "civilized" world, but is not the most natural pooping position. Note that people use squat toilets in many parts of the world. If looking for constipation help, one can try pretty much any position that seems to help. It's a free country, after all, and nobody's watching in the bathroom.
