Is It Normal To Defecate Only Once In 2 Or 3 Days?
Question: Doing potty in 2/3 days
Brief Answer:
It is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is normal to pass stools every 2-3 days as long as there is no other symptom. If you have any other symptoms please let me know.
You may drink lots of water, milk and juices to soften the stools. Prunes can also help. Other fruits can also be taken 4-5 times a day. This will add fiber to the diet and regularize digestion.
Lactulose syrup is also a laxative that can be taken once in a while when constipation develops.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vaishalee
