Old bowel movements can be caused by indigestion, improper diet, unclean diet, intestinal inflammation, intestinal tumors, etc. There are more causes of old bowel movements, and the exact cause needs to be determined after examination.
There are more causes of constant bowel movements.
1. If an elderly person experiences an increase in the number of bowel movements and a change in the shape of the stool, the possibility of having colon cancer needs to be ruled out. The reason for this is that the elderly are not sensitive to the sensation and response to various adverse stimuli, so they cannot detect the tumor in its early stages and wait until it grows, resulting in narrowing of the intestinal cavity and lumen, leading to changes in the shape of the stool and an increase in the number of stools.
2. Sometimes chronic colitis can also lead to more frequent stools, poorer digestion and absorption, usually most obvious after a large diet or eating cold food, and significant weight loss.
3. Sometimes acute enteritis or acute gastroenteritis can also lead to an increase in the number of stools, which may be accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
4. If you are in the second trimester of pregnancy and have a high number of bowel movements, and the number of bowel movements is small each time, this is due to the larger fetus pressing on the intestinal canal, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
After the symptom of constantly relieving stool, you need to go to the hospital in time so that the specific cause can be clarified.
