Question
Hello doctor,
In the past, I used to have a bowel movement every 2-3 days and felt light-headed, but after bleeding due to constipation, I changed the mode of bowel movements every day but every time Go less and do not feel light-headed and often bloated. So the doctor asked me if it's okay to have flatulence when having a bowel movement once a day? I have read that constipation is a risk of bowel obstruction, so I am very worried, hope the doctor can help me. Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have flatulence when you go out once a day? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
It is very good for you to change the mode of going to the toilet from once every 2-3 days to once a day. Maybe at first your body is not used to it, so you do not feel completely comfortable. But this new toilet regimen actually has many benefits in the long run.
In the short term, you do not have constipation, bowel movements do not bleed, anal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures or bowel obstruction due to stool are less likely to appear. If after a while, the body still has not adapted to the new toilet regime, you can go to a medical facility for further examination and advice.
If you still have questions about or flatulence when having a bowel movement once a day, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
