Normal people have 1-2 bowel movements per day, more than 3 times is excessive bowel movements, resulting in more causes. If it only shows an increase in the number of bowel movements, without other discomfort symptoms, it may be due to indigestion. If it is also accompanied by abdominal pain and abdominal tinnitus, most patients have gastrointestinal dysfunction or anxiety caused by excessive gastrointestinal motility, such as diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome. However, if the patient has mucopurulent stools, joint pain in the limbs, etc., it is highly suspected to be caused by enteritis, and further gastroscopy should be performed in the Department of Gastroenterology, and oral Lactobacillus acidophilus tablets and glutamine capsules can be taken to regulate the intestinal flora and protect the intestinal mucosa. In addition, patients with hyperthyroidism may also have stools 3-4 times/day and need to go to the endocrinology department for relevant examinations. In addition to medication, patients should also pay attention to their dietary habits, avoiding fried and pickled foods and eating more fiber-rich foods to promote intestinal digestion and prevent intestinal diseases.
