Margot remembers one of the things that irritated her the most about her ex-husband, was the hours he spent in the toilet. As they only had one bathroom in the house, this frequently caused others in the family to be late for school or work.

How often do you go to the toilet? How often should you go to the toilet?

This differs from person to person. Most adults pass 1-1,5 litres of urine a day, which usually involves at least 4 visits to the toilet, unless they have a bladder infection.

When it comes to passing stools, there are no fixed rules about how often this should happen. Some people go three times a day, others once in two days. If you become constipated, however, it is time for action, as this can cause serious diseases on the long run, such as piles and colon cancer.
