How hard should you push to poop?

Question

I know this is a weird question but I have a bowel movement everyday so I don’t feel constipated, but I do have to push and strain and sometimes press on my stomach to get it to come out. How hard should you be pushing during a bowel movement?

Answer

You don’t want to push that hard probably. I have ibs so sometimes I end up pushing that hard because I’m sick of being constipated 😂 but I would try a squatty potty it does really help maybe increase your fiber intake?

Answer

You don't want to push so hard you pull something. I know someone.who.did that and I hear it sucks. 
Get some Murilax. It's not super harsh and should help.

Answer

I know this is gonna sound weird but try crossing your legs while you poop. It helps.

Answer

try leaning forward or getting a squatty potty. so silly but honestly, works wonders😂

Answer

If you're having to push or force it in my opinion that's too much.. If it's something that has happened for a while maybe speak to your doctor
