A member asked:

What be the reason when i poop. i can see my food substances. and i don't seem to poop well? had sex 2 weeks ago. also have cough.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poop: Your bowel movements often contain undigested food particles. If you are pooping every 1 to 3 days that is okay. If your poops are hard- try drinking more fluids, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Unlikely connected to having sex two weeks ago or cough. Okay to ask a separated question about these two issues.
