Small Bowel Movement
What is a Small Bowel Movement?
Depending on the size of the individual, a small bowel movement may be as small as 2 cm long and almost no diameter. Anything less than this and it barely counts as a bowel movement. Its more of a shart* than anything.
Cause of Small Bowel Movements
There are three major causes of small bowel movements. They are:
- an inability to release the bowel movement fully
- simply not much fecal matter to be passed
Typically, both cases are not a big deal. In the event of a recurring issue, it is possible that some intestinal problems are to cause, such as a twisted or partially blocked intestine.
Cure for Small Bowel Movements
Depending on the cause, no cure for small bowel movements may be required. Just because you didn’t have to go, there’s no reason to think you have a problem! In the event of sustained small bowel movements as a deviation from the norm, especially if accompanied by additional health symptoms or a bloating of the abdominal area, it is important to speak with a health professional about the problem.
