I'm wondering if having a bowel movement 3 or 4 times a day is something I should be worried about. Could this be a sign of a stomach problem, or is this totally normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Passing stool 3 to 4 times a day can be normal for some people, especially if the stools are well-formed and you're not experiencing any discomfort or other symptoms like bloating, pain, or diarrhea. However, if you notice any changes in consistency, color, or feel unwell, its a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

View allI've been dealing with internal hemorrhoids for about 3 years now, but over the last 6 months it's gotten worse with frequent bleeding. I'm really worried and don't know much about this condition. Surgery isn't an option for me are there natural ways to treat this? What would you suggest for relief and healing?
Internal hemorrhoids can be managed naturally, especially with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments. Increasing fiber in your diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can significantly reduce symptoms and promote healing. Over-the-counter creams and suppositories containing hydrocortisone, lidocaine, or witch hazel can also provide relief from pain, swelling, and itching.

I'm curious about something regarding Daflon. I took it for about two weeks when I had hemorrhoids, and it really helped. Now that I'm all better, I'm wondering if I can take Daflon again if my hemorrhoids flare up later on. Are there any specific precautions or guidelines I should keep in mind when it comes to the dosage?
