I am a 28 year old female. I have bowel movements several times a day. When should I be concerned about bowel movements?

More than 3 BMs per day is generally considered abnormal. Seems like a good idea to get this checked out, especially if there is weight loss or blood in the stool. See a GI doc or PCP.
Having several bowel movements per day is common in some individuals. If there is a recent change in pattern, if you have pain or blood with bowel movements, weight loss or if it wakes you up from sleep then you should be concerned.
You should be concerned now.
