Bowel


How Can I Help Myself?

Individuals vary but it is normal to open your bowels from between three times a day, to three times a week. A normal stool is soft and easy to pass (type 3 or 4 on the diagram below).

It is useful to think of bowel management in three parts: making your stool type normal, making lifestyle changes and normalising the activity of the anal sphincter.
