What are the dangers of constipation?

  Whatever the cause of constipation, if it is relieved within a “short” period of time, it will not bring much impact on health. But if you are constipated for a long time, and each time the interval between stools is too long (such as more than 2-3 days), the situation is different. 1, leading to blood in the stool and anal fissure: first of all, from the body locally, constipated people often have very dry stools, when the dry and hard stool is discharged, it can bruise the intestinal mucosa, leading to blood in the stool and anal fissure. 2, the formation of internal or external hemorrhoids: dry and hard stool accumulates in the rectum, and presses the blood vessels on the rectal wall, so that the rectal wall of the venous reflux is impaired. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The longer the stool stays in the intestinal tract, the more the toxic substances – indole and ammonia – decomposed by a large number of bacteria in the stool are absorbed by the intestinal tract, and to a certain extent, it will cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache and general weakness, and further affect the appetite of the patient.  For patients suffering from heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, constipation is a great threat. Due to excessive force when defecating, sometimes can induce heart failure or cerebrovascular rupture bleeding, in serious cases can endanger the patient’s life. Therefore, when constipation occurs in these patients, should take active measures to try to lift. Constipation is not a serious disease, but it is very painful and can lead to a number of complications, such as poor appetite and sleep. Chronic constipation can cause irritability and nervousness. For patients with hypertension and coronary heart, constipation is very dangerous, these patients often have sudden cerebrovascular accidents during defecation, coronary heart disease aggravated, and even death. For young people, constipation can cause endocrine disorders, resulting in temper tantrums and facial acne. In addition, constipation can also cause high fever and cough. For these diseases, laxative treatment can be very effective.  Constipation has a greater impact on women and may cause menstrual disorders and malposition of the uterus. This is due to overfilling of the rectum with feces, where the cervix is pushed forward while the body of the uterus is tilted backward. If the posterior tilt of the uterus occurs repeatedly over a long period of time, the veins in the broad ligament become compressed and do not open. As a result, the uterine wall also becomes congested and loses elasticity, which, in turn, keeps the uterus in a posteriorly inclined position for a long time, resulting in lumbosacral pain, lumbago, menstrual disorders, and anorectal swelling during menstruation.
