Bowel problems

Let's talk about poo and what's normal. Going to the loo for a number two is different for everyone, but if you go between three times a day to three times a week, your routine is pretty normal. What's not normal is not pooing for more than three days, or having poo that is too big or too hard to comfortably push out - it means you might be constipated.

Constipation can weaken and stretch the pelvic floor, aggravating stress and urge incontinence and boosting the risk of prolapse. It can be caused by anything from poor diet, not enough fluids or food intolerances.
