" Most of us spend most of our time trying not to think about our bowel movements, so it’s no surprise that many people do not know what a “normal” bowel movement is. The fact is that there is no one definition of a normal bowel movement. There are gradations of normal, and every person is going to have different bowel habits. There are, however, several signs that a bowel movement is abnormal and should be discussed with a physician.
Once a day, right?
Many people believe that the definition of a normal bowel movement is having 1 movement each day, but that is not true for everyone. There is no rule for frequency of bowel movements, but a good range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Less than 3 movements a week may indicate constipation, and more than 3 watery stools a day could indicate diarrhea. " |

" Size and shape "
" A bowel movement should be soft and easy to pass, though some people may have harder or softer stools than others. Stool should be brown or golden brown, be formed, have a texture similar to peanut butter, and have a size and shape similar to a sausage.
Constipation
Constipation is a very common problem and is estimated to be the cause for approximately 2 million doctor visits each year. Constipation is hard, dry, lumpy stools that are difficult or painful to pass that may be accompanied by and discomfort. Chronic dehydration, lack of exercise, and low amounts of dietary fiber can all lead to constipation. Drinking enough water each day and avoiding caffeine can help prevent dehydration. At least 30 minutes of exercise (even brisk walking is better than no aerobic activity) most days of the week is recommended for better overall health. There should be enough fiber in the diet to insure that stools are soft and pass painlessly and easily.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is loose, watery stools that occur more than 3 times in 1 day may and, in most people, is a common problem that usually lasts a day or 2 and does not need any treatment. Causes include infection, side effects of medication, and food intolerance. Diarrhea may need treatment if it lasts more than 3 days and is accompanied by fever, severe pain or dehydration, or looks black, tarry, or contains blood.
Change in bowel habits
A normal bowel movement is different for each person and may vary in consistency and frequency. There are, however, several indications that a bowel movement is abnormal and may be the sign of a more serious problem.
A change in bowel habits includes any constant change in bowel frequency, color, consistency, or shape of stools. This sign warrants special concern in people who are over the age of 50 years.
Blood. Frank blood in the stool is never normal, and could be a result of several conditions that range in seriousness from hemorrhoids to infection to colon cancer. Bloody stools should always be evaluated by a physician.
Black stools. Black, tarry stools with a foul odor can be the result of eating certain foods, taking iron supplements, or possibly from internal bleeding.
Red or maroon stools. Red or maroon stools could be from something benign, such as eating red colored foods or it could be caused by several different conditions including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, colon polyps or colon cancer, diverticular bleeding, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Green stool. Green stool may be caused by green or artificially colored foods, iron supplements, and decreased colonic transit time.
Pale or clay colored stools. Stools that appear pale or look like clay could be the result of lack of bile salt (which gives stool a brownish color), antacids, barium from recent barium enema test, or hepatitis."

flank pain

Alternative Names
flank discomfort
Definition
The flanks are the sides of the abdomen, located between the ribs and the pelvis, or hipbone. Flank pain refers to any pain or discomfort in this area.
What is going on in the body?
Flank pain usually only occurs on one side, but may be mild or severe. There are many possible causes, ranging from unimportant to serious.
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
When someone complains of flank pain, the healthcare provider may ask questions, such as:
* exactly where the pain is located
* when the pain started
* the type of pain, such as sharp, dull, or crampy
* whether the person has ever had this type of pain before
* whether the pain is constant or only occurs sometimes
* whether there has been any injury to the painful area
* whether anything makes the pain better or worse
* whether or not there has been any other symptoms, such as swelling, rash, or fever
* what other medical conditions a person has, if any
* what medications, drugs, or herbs a person takes, if any
What are the causes and risks of the condition?
There are many possible causes of flank pain. Common causes include:
* kidney stones
* pyelonephritis, which is a kidney infection
* urinary tract infections, such as a bladder infection
* irritable bowel syndrome, a poorly understood condition which causes abdominal pain and irregular bowel movements
* gallbladder pain due to gallstones
* gallbladder disease
* inflammation in the bowels, such as that caused by peptic ulcers or appendicitis
* hepatitis
* pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas
* an enlarged or damaged spleen
* pneumonia
* a tumor or cancer inside the abdomen, such as colon cancer
Other causes are also possible. Sometimes a cause cannot be found.
What can be done to prevent the condition?
Avoidance of alcohol abuse could prevent many cases of flank pain from hepatitis or pancreatitis. A vaccine is available to prevent certain forms of hepatitis. Drinking plenty of fluids every day can sometimes prevent kidney stones. Many of the causes of flank pain cannot be prevented.
How is the condition diagnosed?
The diagnosis of flank pain begins with a complete medical history and physical exam. The healthcare provider may then order tests, such as:
* a urinalysis
* an abdominal x-ray
* an intravenous pyelogram or IVP
* blood tests, including a CBC and CHEM-7
* ultrasound tests
* CT scans
What are the long-term effects of the condition?
Irritable bowel syndrome may make a person uncomfortable and even depressed, but poses no serious long-term health risks. A small kidney stone may pass by itself and have no long-term effects. A large kidney stone may require surgery to remove. Appendicitis and cancer may lead to death if treatment doesn't work.
What are the risks to others?
Flank pain is not contagious and usually poses no risk to others. If the cause is an infection, the infection may be contagious.
What are the treatments for the condition?
Pain medication can be given as needed for relief of the flank pain. Stronger medications for pain, such as morphine, may be needed in some cases. Those with a kidney stone may be able to pass the stone into their urine. If the stone passes, no other treatment is needed. If the stone doesn't pass, surgery may be needed to remove it.
Those with gallbladder disease or appendicitis usually need surgery.
Someone with irritable bowel syndrome may be given medication to help the bowel relax or prevent it from having spasms. Those with a urinary tract infection are usually given antibiotics. Those with a tumor or cancer may need surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
What are the side effects of the treatments?
Side effects depend on the treatments used. For instance, antibiotics can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset. Any surgery carries a risk of bleeding, infection, and allergic reaction to anesthesia.
What happens after treatment for the condition?
Someone who passes a kidney stone or has it removed may not need any further treatment. A person with irritable bowel syndrome may need long-term treatment for pain flare-ups. An individual with cancer may need long-term treatment for the cancer and may die if treatment doesn't work.
How is the condition monitored?
Monitoring will depend on the cause of the flank pain. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider.
