Does passing yellow liquid after taking laxatives indicate that the intestines are clean?

After taking a laxative, if yellow liquid is expelled and the liquid is clear with gradually decreasing bowel movements, it may indicate that the intestines have been cleansed. However, if the liquid appears cloudy or contains impurities and bowel movements do not decrease, it may not indicate intestinal cleansing. If in doubt, it is advisable to seek medical consultation in advance. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If after taking a laxative, stool is expelled first, followed by yellow liquid that gradually becomes clearer, and bowel movements slowly decrease without significant discomfort, this typically indicates that most stool has been emptied from the intestines and may suggest intestinal cleansing.

If the yellow liquid contains residual stool or mucus, and bowel movements do not decrease, or are even accompanied by symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain, this often indicates that there are still substances remaining in the intestine that have not been expelled and may not indicate intestinal cleansing.

When the above situations occur, pay attention to the condition of the expelled liquid and frequency of bowel movements, and avoid excessive use of laxatives. If there is any doubt regarding intestinal cleansing, seek timely medical attention for professional evaluation and guidance.
