5-6 times, but not diarrhea.

Increased stool frequency may be caused by dietary problems, intestinal infections, irritable bowel syndrome, side effects of medications, or other health problems. If prolonged or accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, seek medical attention promptly. This condition may be caused by a variety of reasons, the following are some of the possible causes: 1. Dietary problems: Eating too much fat, fiber, or spicy food, or eating irregularly, can lead to increased frequency of stools. 2. Intestinal infection: Bacterial, viral, or other microbial infection of the intestine, which can cause inflammation and diarrhea. However, if the stool is not watery and there are no other obvious symptoms, it may be a mild intestinal infection. 3. Irritable bowel syndrome: This is a common bowel disorder, often accompanied by abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation or diarrhea.4. Drug side effects: Certain drugs, such as antibiotics, antidepressants or NSAIDs, may affect bowel motility or cause inflammation of the bowl.5. Other health problems: Health problems such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, gallbladder disease, and hyperthyroidism may also lead to increased stool frequency. Note that increased stool frequency may be chronic, especially if accompanied by other symptoms.(e.g. abdominal pain, weight loss, fever, etc.), seek medical attention for a detailed examination and diagnosis. Your doctor may recommend a stool test, colonoscopy, etc. to determine the cause and develop a treatment plan. In addition, increased stool frequency may be more important for certain groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, people with low immune function, or people with other health problems. They may be more prone to serious health problems, so consult your doctor promptly. In summary, increased stool frequency may be normal, but it may also be a sign of certain health problems. If this condition persists or is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
