Hello,
I really appreciate your concern, if you are passing the stool every alternate day then it may not be due to any disease, but it may be due to less amount of water intake, low fiber- containing diet, and stress. So drink more water, have more fiber-containing diet, and you can try stool softening like Isabgol powder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
