“ மலம் கழிதல்“ (அல்லது) “மலம் கழிதலுக்கான குடல் அசைவு“


Explanation:
கீழ்கண்ட இணையதள விளக்கங்களை பார்க்கும் போது வழக்கமான “bowel movement“ க்கு “ மலம் கழிதல்“ என்றோ “மலம் கழிதலுக்கான குடல் அசைவு“
என்றோ பொருள் கொள்ளலாம்.

agree  Narendran: This is more appropriate as both would serve the purpose as per the requirments.Mr Pandian's is talking the action instead of ABOUT the action and Ms. vidya's is explanatory which is unwarranted when equivalant is available.
