Q. My poop is normal but I am worried about the frequency. Please advise.
Hello doctor,
I have been defecating four to five times a day for the last four to five months. I have not sensed any symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or blood in the stool. The poop is completely normal. I am worried about the frequency.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It seems to be a case of functional diarrhea. An abnormal passage of a small volume of stool at an increased frequency is most likely due to rectal urgency.
You can get the stool tested for OPC (ova/parasite/cyst). If it is negative, do not worry. There is nothing abnormal.
Decrease the carbohydrate content of your diet. That might be helpful.
Thank you.
