If you are experiencing any type of incontinence you should see your doctor, there is a good chance you can be helped with this problem. Keep in mind that humans come in an infinite variety so there is no one right answer. However there are basic guidelines. Most people urinate four to eight times per twenty four-hour period. Getting up once a night is normal, if you are getting up more than twice per night you should see your doctor.
Most people have a bowel movement anywhere between three times per day to three times per week.
Always be sure to drink enough liquid. People may think that if they feel as though they need to urinate often they should cut back on liquids. It is just the opposite. You need to keep enough fluid in your system to keep it running smoothly, at least 3-4 pints per day. Be sure to get enough fiber in your diet to keep your bowels in good working order.
