Question 1: How painful is constipation? Miss Zhang: I have always had constipation, three years more and more serious, and then to once a week, but I am not the kind of can not pull out, is simply no intention to poop, so I can only dry anxious. I also tried to eat a variety of good digestive things to promote the stool. I heard that drinking salt water in the morning on an empty stomach will pull, I tried but it did not work, my colleague tried everything, and also eat bananas or dragon fruit in the morning on an empty stomach and so on. To be honest, the first few times on dragon fruit feel the effect is okay, and then not much use, bananas are not mentioned, there is no effect. I also tried to drink honey water, or no use, that time is really desperate, feel like they are not a terminal disease, and dare not go to the hospital to see. Every day, I feel like I’m going crazy. I really tried hard, just can’t pull out There are few people like Miss Zhang who are troubled by constipation in life, most of these patients are mentally anxious, short-tempered or depressed. Constipation in the end how uncomfortable it is? There is a patient poetry cloud: night sitting commode pull up again, down the pit as if three nights, the old man’s nose has thunder, force are not, hold the paper to listen to the sound of water. Long to hate the smooth flow is not me, when to forget the surplus. Porcelain pool wind quiet light level. Comfortable from now on, mung beans send the rest of life. You can imagine why constipation will be tortured people crazy. According to incomplete statistics about 50% of people have had constipation, especially the elderly, pregnant women and children have the highest incidence. The normal human physiology is to defecate at least 1-2 times a day, if you do not defecate for 24 hours, then defecation will easily appear dry stool is not easy to discharge phenomenon, that is, constipation. So why is this? The human body is a very precise instrument, each organ has its own role, the small intestine is responsible for absorbing nutrients, while the large intestine is responsible for absorbing water, food in the small intestine after absorbing nutrients, toxins and waste into the large intestine, ready to be discharged from the body, so as to maintain the balance, the so-called out there is into, the human body through the mouth to eat, and then through the anus of the large intestine to discharge waste. If a constipated person will be in such a situation, the small intestine to absorb nutrients, waste excreted into the large intestine, but, can not be smoothly discharged, then the large intestine will absorb the water in the stool, but also the toxins will be re-absorbed into the blood, which not only leads to dry stool should not be discharged, but also increase the burden on the liver, we will find that often constipated people are very dark, and, very easy to grow acne, and heavy breath. Breath is also very heavy. Constipation is very harmful to health, mild can cause hemorrhoids, intestinal ulcers, diverticula, etc., serious is rectal cancer, generally have more than 10 years of constipation history of people have a very high chance of cancer. Therefore, it is important to prevent constipation. Constipation is difficult to say 1, less stool, stool time is also less such constipation can be seen in the slow transmission type and export obstruction type constipation. The former is due to the slow passage, so the number of stools and stool are less, but at certain intervals can still appear stool, stool is often dry and hard, forceful defecation helps to expel feces. The latter is often not obvious feeling, not easy to cause the intention to stool. 2, difficult defecation, effort Prominent performance for the abnormal difficulty of fecal discharge, also seen in two cases, to export obstructive constipation is more common. When the patient force discharge, the external anal sphincter presents paradoxical contraction, so that defecation is difficult. This type of constipation is not necessarily less frequent, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If accompanied by weakness of the abdominal muscles contraction, the difficulty of defecation is aggravated. There is another situation is due to slow passage, too much water in the stool is absorbed, the stool is dry, especially for a long time without defecation, making the discharge of dry hard stool abnormally difficult, can occur fecal impaction. 3, anal blockage feeling Although frequent bowel movements, the number of bowel movements, even if the effort is not helpful, it is difficult to have a smooth bowel movement. It can be accompanied by anorectal irritation symptoms, such as falling, discomfort, etc. Such patients often have a high degree of rectal sensory sensitivity, or with the anatomy of the rectum, such as intra-rectal overlap, as well as internal hemorrhoids. Constipation is closer to which groups of people 1, with thyroid disease, diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic dysfunction of the population, prone to induce constipation. 2, people with central nervous system and peripheral nervous system diseases, their intestinal sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are also prone to abnormalities, resulting in intestinal motor function defects, easily induced constipation. 3, people with intestinal tumors or inflammatory diseases, the intestinal structure of the organic changes, in this case is also prone to induce constipation. 4, long-term use of diuretic drugs, antidepressants, anti-Parkinsonian drugs and other groups of people, because the side effects of drugs lead to constipation. 5, because of life, work and other aspects of the problem, resulting in nervous tension of the population, because of the distraction of attention, to defecation feeling dull, also easy to induce constipation. Please overcome the psychological barriers, timely medical treatment Many people have certain misconceptions about constipation, constipation is a small thing, there is no need to go to the hospital, just buy some medicine to eat on their own pharmacy. Some people feel constipation like hemorrhoids, ashamed to talk about it, tolerate it and get better, one way or another, more and more serious. The toxins in our body, in addition to sweating and urination, there is an important way, is through the feces out of the body. If you are constipated for a long time, you can imagine how much toxins have accumulated in your body, plus these toxins can not be excreted in a timely manner, and may even induce inflammation, anorectal disease and other diseases. Constipation can even lead to aggravation of the original body diseases, such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal diverticulosis, etc., in life, seriously affecting the quality. If constipation, the use of rhubarb and senna and other laxatives, although you can promote defecation, but the intestinal fluid will also be harmed, at first there will be a role, but after the intestinal peristalsis will be impeded, after stopping the drug, and may even aggravate the constipation, resulting in an embarrassment of not eating laxatives can not stool. Moreover, long-term use of anthraquinone-based laxatives can also cause colorectal melanosis, resulting in serious consequences. Constipation is very common, but do not underestimate, if after a week, still in constipation, we must promptly seek medical advice, to the regular hospital to do the appropriate examination and treatment, do not use drugs privately.
