Constipation is properly defined as having less than three bowel motions per week. However, the frequency with which you "go" varies greatly from person to person. Some people have bowel motions multiple times every day, while others have them once or twice a week. Whatever your bowel movement pattern is, it is unique and normal for you - as long as you don't deviate from it too much.
Whatever your bowel pattern is, one thing is certain: the longer you wait to "go," the more difficult it is for stool/poop to pass. Other essential characteristics that typically identify constipation include:
Your stools are firm and dry.
Your bowel movements are uncomfortable, and you have difficulty passing stools.
