Constipation
It is normal to open our bowels anything from 3 times a day to every 3rd day. If, when you open your bowels, you are able to pass stool easily, even if it has been several days and this is normal for you, then this is fine. If you have not been for a few days or longer and you have to strain to empty, or the stool is very hard, then you are constipated.
