Bowel movement
The medical history is reporting, in this case, that the patient VACATED HIS BOWELS (or defecated, if you prefer).
The generic term is 'eliminated waste,' but this could be mistaken for 'he VOIDED his bladder' (i.e., he urinated). Notice that the correct verb in English is different, based on whether the bowels are vacated or the bladder is voided.
у него было действие желудка утром would be 'he had a bowel movement in the morning.'
