There are two types of frequent bowel movements: urinary and fecal. If you have frequent bowel movements, which is clinically referred to as frequent urination, there are usually two categories of frequent urination: infectious and non-infectious. Infectious frequent urination is often accompanied by urinary urgency, painful urination, incomplete urination, and in severe cases, hematuria, and urine tests often show elevated white blood cells or red blood cells, and sometimes bacteria can be detected. Non-infectious, usually with normal tests, is caused by irritation of the bladder and is seen in some patients with overactive bladder. In addition, some patients with stones, pelvic inflammatory disease, and chronic prostatitis can also cause a feeling of frequent and incomplete urination. If you have frequent bowel movements, and if you also have alternating dry and thin stools, you should be alert to the possibility of colon tumors. Other frequent bowel movements are hemorrhoids, prostatitis interfering with the bowel, ulcerative colitis, etc. Frequent bowel movements are usually diagnosed by routine stool tests and fecal occult blood, which should be combined with gastroenterography or colonoscopy.
