Defecation
Defecation is the process of eliminating waste from the body. It is an important biological process for a healthy digestive system and overall health. Solid waste, consisting mostly of feces, is expelled through the anus when defecating. Defecation is necessary to rid the body of indigestible food, toxins, and other waste and to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the intestines. Frequency of defecation varies among individuals, but most adults are typically advised to have one complete bowel movement every 1-2 days in order to maintain regularity and reduce the risk of health problems.
