Brief Answer:
Detailed answer below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Have seen your query,
Actually there is no medical reply for how come your fecal moments become normal when you tilt to left but yes design of every body is slightly different.
For e.g all the organs in lower abdomen are inside pelvis.
Now position of pelvis varies slightly from person to person.
However if it's helping you then do the same..plus try squat toilet.
While squatting muscles of rectum get relaxed and stools are easily passed.
You could also use a stool half the size of your English toilet seat and put your feets on the same while passing stools.
Revert back on how you feel.
Thanks

Hi there,
Yes leaning forward relaxes the muscle around the rectum and therefore stool passes easily.
In squat mode also a person naturally leans a bit forward and therefore stool passes easily.
Thank you.
