Twice a week is considered constipation.

Life_inst_bad@lemmy.world 14 hours agoA Poop one a week is totaly fine but if you’re unsuccessfully trying for a bowel movement/poop for 3 hours something’s not right. A more fiber richt diet might help. Also drinking enough water helps. Mabe get something like a squatty-potty or channel your inner rat king.

So I did a little more reading you’re and you are right. Most sources that I found say 3x/day - 3x/Week is the usual range. More important is the Bistrol stool scale, I mean if you are having a poop once every 4-5 days but the consistency is a perfect 3-4 I dont see any harm in that. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale)

Ehm… i would respectfully disagree that a poop once a week is fine.
That would be a reason to see a doctor if this persists for any length of time…
