Stool formation 3-4 times a day stool may be a normal physiological phenomenon, but also may be pathological reasons, such as gastrointestinal dysfunction. Normal stools are banana-shaped and yellow or brown in color. If all stools are normal, the intestines are relatively healthy. Even 3-4 bowel movements a day are normal. It may be due to the consumption of fiber-rich foods or eating too much, resulting in an increase in the number of bowel movements, and no special treatment is needed at this time. However, if the number of bowel movements is usually stable, a change in the number of bowel movements within a short period of time may be due to gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by cold, which stimulates the intestinal tract and causes an increase in the number of bowel movements. Generally, the shape of the stool will not change and most of them can be cured by themselves. In case of formed stools, 3-4 bowel movements a day can be observed temporarily. If there is a change in the shape or color of stools, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause and to carry out targeted treatment or therapy with the help of the doctor.
