Regular bowel evacuation occurs 3x a day to every 3 days. Comfort and consistency are key for a healthy bowel routine. If you are having a hard time passing your stools or controlling the urge for bowel movements work towards having a well-formed stool.
Having a variety of soluble and insoluble fibers, drinking 50-80 ounces of water daily, getting 20 minutes of daily exercise, and using good bathroom body mechanics all lead to regular bowel movements.
