I personally go at least daily, but this can vary a bit from person to person. When I worked in the nursing home it was required that if the residents didn't go every other day they were offered some sort of intervention so as not to become impacted. Once a week isn't enough.

Hi there,
In the normal Human body metabolism, the solid waste products get ready for excretion , in 12 to 14 hours...
But the daily routine is made a "habit" by the humans according to his convenience and laziness.
But "once a week" seems to be very strange and a little exagerrated ! Maybe she is living on fluids and liquids and juices only ??
The more we "accumulate".."more absorption of the water" ..and "more dryness"...and hence
can lead to motility problems ...and further complications especially as the age advances...
After all there is a saying.." if you do a thing repeatedly for 15 days continuously ...it forms/becomes a habit..." ! Really true.. right ?
Best wishes..

I feel this to be not a normal thing because you cannot stay a whole week you will get constipated . as long as your digestive system is functioning normally at least once in a day.

It depends on your metabolism. I used to go about once a week when I had a high metabolism but as my metabolism has slowed down I have started going about once every 3 days.

It is normal. I only go every other day as well. It takes that long for your food to digest. Once a week though...she might want to see a doctor...

My sister saw this thing on tv and the guy said 3-5 times daily is the norm. I`d say it depends on your diet and digestive system.

Well if that woman poop only once a week then she better see a doctor coz definitely someting is wrong with her. She could end up having a colon cancer if she doesn't do something about it... c",)

if you are not complaining anything its OK, but normally everybody should go one time everyday. Normally women are constipated, because of psicological, social and nutritional reasons, so in your case (if you are a woman) it souns reasonable
