Bowel movements can smell like a septic tank due to the presence of certain bacteria in the gut that produce sulfur-containing compounds during digestion. Foods high in sulfur, such as eggs, meat, and certain vegetables, can exacerbate this odor. Additionally, an imbalance in gut bacteria or digestive issues may lead to more foul-smelling stool. In some cases, underlying health conditions could also contribute to particularly strong odors.

What sypmtoms would cause increase bowel movements?

Symptoms do not cause increased bowel movements. Increased bowel movement is a symptom of bowel disease which usually presents with abdominal pain and diarrhoea, and this can be caused by infection like gastroenteritis which can be viral or bacterial. Inflammatory bowel disease like crohn's and ulcerative colitis is another cause. Pancreatic insufficiency can causes diarrhoea due to malabsorption. People with nervous disposition can get nervous diarrhoea related to stress and also spastic colon or irritable bowel can cause diarrhea and cramp like abdominal pain. Increased bowel movement will also be seen in bowel obstruction with increased effort of the bowel to push the bowel content through the obstruction.

A bowel movement itself does not permanently make the anus bigger. The anus can temporarily stretch during a bowel movement to accommodate the passage of stool, but it usually returns to its normal size afterward. However, frequent straining or conditions like hemorrhoids may lead to changes in the elasticity of the anal tissues over time.
