defecations

Waste expulsion acts

Defecations are acts of expelling feces from the body.

The word is clinical and appears mostly in medical contexts: The patient reported three defecations per day.

Outside technical usage, people prefer plainer terms—bowel movements, or simply going to the bathroom.
