Why Does It Take 1 Week To Pass Bowel Movement?

It takes about a week to a week and a half for me to have a bowel movement. I understand that the meds. that I take can slow the process of your body to function in this matter but why does it take so long for me to feel as though I have to go to the bathroom?
