Previously, we are accustomed to the toilet “squatting”, and now every household is “sitting”, so the toilet in the end is good squatting? Or sitting? We will now discuss this issue. 1, squat: theoretically squatting easier to defecate From the physiological structure, people squatting, abdominal pressure than when sitting, which can reduce abdominal force, the role of defecation help. The human body has a U-shaped puborectal muscle, which starts from one side of the pubic bone, after the rectum around a circle, connected to the other side of the pubic bone, forming a ring, just to pull the rectal hooks, so that the rectum forms a tip forward angle, which is the anal right angle. “People in the general sitting position, the anal right angle is about 80 ° ~ 90 °, while the squatting position when the anal right angle can reach 100 ° ~ 110 °. Theoretically, the greater the anal right angle, the straighter the rectum, the smoother the bowel movement.” When people are squatting, the human body curve to the most primitive state, the legs apart, the anus will also naturally separate, the anal dilator muscle propped open, this time is actually more convenient for defecation. So, if you feel that squatting is easier to defecate, it is not a personal illusion. For some people with constipation, defecation difficulties, we will also recommend that they choose more “squatting” to improve his bowel movement. 2, sit: sitting to reduce leg pressure, more energy, but more time-consuming Sitting pulling is popular in the 19th century by the West, sitting to reduce the pressure on the legs and knees, relatively comfortable, but. Compared to squatting, sitting without the role of gravity such as the abdomen facing down, longer evacuation time, more abdominal force, more time-consuming. Reminder: stool: “step stool” is actually not much use Some people recommend the use of seated defecation plus a small bench, reducing the angle between the thighs and torso, simulating the same effect as squatting defecation, forceful and not tired. But medical experts pointed out that this increase in abdominal pressure is very limited, reduce the pressure of defecation is also limited, there is no need for so much trouble. 3, special people or sit good Although squatting posture theoretically helps defecation, for some elderly people, especially those with cardiovascular disease, the use of squatting posture, the legs and knees are under greater stress, it is easy to leg numbness, dizziness, slipping and even fractures and other accidents, so these people are not recommended to use the squat toilet. 4, regardless of squatting should shorten the time It should be reminded that the time of stool should not be too long, it is best to control within 5 minutes. Many people are used to listening to music, reading a book when going to the toilet, invariably prolonging the toilet time, which is likely to cause poor venous blood stasis at the anus, increasing the risk of hemorrhoids. This can cause hemorrhoids, varicose external hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoid prolapse, hemorrhoid prolapse, mucosal prolapse and other diseases that bring harm to health. In addition, reading a book and newspaper while defecating will cause the brain to be distracted and unable to effectively capture the response to intestinal peristaltic signals, which in the long run will also cause constipation.
