Prolonged failure to poop may lead to anorectal diseases, damage the intestines, cause endocrine disorders, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, and so on. 1. Anorectal diseases: If you don’t poop for a long time, the dry stool may induce blood in the stool, hemorrhoids and anal fissure. 2. Damage to the intestinal tract: prolonged failure to poop may cause stool irritation of the intestinal mucosa, leading to intestinal inflammation, intestinal ulcers, and even intestinal perforation. 3. Lead to endocrine disorders: Long-term failure to poop can easily increase the toxins in the intestines, resulting in endocrine disorders and affecting the patient’s quality of life. 4. Occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents: If the elderly do not defecate for a long time, it is likely to induce acute myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other cardiovascular and cerebral vascular accidents when defecating forcefully. If the patient does not defecate for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, after clarifying the cause of the disease, carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
