【一起学英语】第14期|Bowel movements
D:Do you have regular bowel movements?
P:Yes, but sometimes I get constipated and sometimes I have diarrh(o)ea.
D:When you say you have diarrh(o)ea, do you mean the stool is very loose, or that you have to go to the bathroom more frequently?
P:I have to go four or five times a day.
D:When you have to go, do you have to go quickly?
P:Yes, I have real problems holding it.
D:Could you describe your stool?
P:The last time it was loose and watery, but very dark.
D:Do you have any problems flushing it down at all?
P:No, I haven't noticed anything like that.
D:Has there been any blood or mucus in the stool?
P:Yes, I have noticed some blood, but no mucus.
D:Is it mixed in with the stool or is it just there on the paper when you wipe yourself?
P:It seems to be mixed in with the stool, Doctor.
D:I see. And when you are constipated, do you take laxatives, or do you use an enema?
P:If I can't go for three days, only the laxative helps.
D:Do you feel bloated when you are constipated?
P:Yes, occasionally, but the laxative helps with that too.
D:Do you have any problems with excessive gas or burping?
P:No, not particularly.
