I don’t recall anyone having to take one in Star Trek, my head canon is they remove it via transporters at night, like a quick swap when aleeping. As someone with intestinal issues that sounds wonderful.
I haven’t seen much of the newer series though and I assume they still urinate to lower energy costs. I may have pondered this a bit.
In Voyager, 7-of-9 had to keep going back to her drone recharge/nutrition unit until her digestive system reformed. Basically a whole bunch of Borg equipment replaced basic staying-alive organs.
So if they don’t ingest, I’d imagine they don’t shit.
Oh, Queen eh? Very nice
How can you tell she’s a queen?
Hasn’t got any shit on her.
Do the Borg actually shit, tho? I’m only a casual Trekkie, but I don’t recall them addressing that issue…
(And just to be clear - yes, I know what MP line you’re referencing.)

Now I’m imagining a Borg standing in their alcove just enjoying a burger.
We’ll assume the mechanical/nano bits work similar to a stillsuit.
