What is bowel movement?
Bowel movement is the last process of the digestive system. It is where the waste and toxic materials pass out of the body through the rectum and anal hole. Active bowel movements are a sign of a healthy body. Irregular bowels can cause much health related problems. If the toxic materials fail to pass out of the body for prolonged time periods, this may also prove to be fatal. There are many complementary names for poop. It is also known as stool, potty, feces and bowel. Poop is the end waste material which is left after the essential nutrients and minerals are absorbed by the body. These end products are toxic and noxious and are required to pass out to ensure the active functioning of the human body. If the poop fails to function properly, this causes many bowel problems which are later discussed in the blog.
Frequency of Bowel movement
There is no determined or defined frequency of bowel movement. It varies from person to person. Some people feel the urge to go to the bathroom more in comparison to other people. Pregnant women are seen making frequent trips to the bathroom. There are many factors that may contribute to the frequency of the stool passage.
Poop Color
Human poop is the sign of a healthy body. There are various ways through which you can assess the overall health by looking at your potty. The normal standard color of poop is dark or light brown. The brown color is due to the bile. Bile is the secretion of the liver and is very helpful in facilitating the process of digestion. The brown color of the potty is the normal color. The normal poop takes around 2 to 3 days to be eliminated from the body after the entire process is completed. If the stool passes out earlier than the expected 2-3 days, it can be different shades of green. Human poop can also be black, yellow, or may also be secreted along with blood. All these are signs of abnormality in the potty and needs immediate medical attention. Also, if you are taking any medication, then the color of your poop may change as a normal side effect. Iron is known to change the color of the poop to black. However, this is not a thing to worry about.
