Bowel movement issues refer to problems related to the frequency, consistency, or ease of passing stool. Common issues include constipation, where stools are hard and difficult to pass, and diarrhea, characterized by loose or watery stools. These conditions can be caused by various factors, including diet, hydration, and underlying health conditions. Other bowel movement issues may involve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which can cause abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. Additionally, some individuals may experience fecal incontinence, the inability to control bowel movements. Addressing these issues often involves dietary changes, increased fluid intake, and sometimes medical intervention.
