Individuals should not take any longer than ten to fifteen minutes on average to pass stool. Additionally, it should be relatively easy to pass. When someone experiences longer bowel movements, or if they are dealing with pain or strain during a bowel movement, it could be an indicator of issues such as constipation, hemorrhoids, or similar. Sometimes individuals experience constipation due to excessive stress, dehydration, or food intolerances., In any case, pain or strain during bowel movements, particularly when it is persistent, should be evaluated by a doctor.
