English term or phrase: opening his bowel

The patient gave a 1 year history of watery bloody stools, opening his bowel up to 11 times per day, with nocturnal symptoms.

Seria "evacuar" ou "ter diarreia"? Obrigada desde já.

I have found this:
1 bowels [plural] the system of tubes inside your body where food is made into solid waste material and through which it passes out of your body [↪ intestine]
move/empty/open your bowels (=get rid of solid waste from your body) - http://www.ldoceonline.com/Human-topic/bowel
