”Constipation is not a disease, can not be solved really dead”. For modern people, it seems to be increasingly difficult to keep the intestines open every day. It has been reported that nearly 20% of the elderly over 60 years of age in China suffer from constipation. Constipation is not only the patent of the elderly, this does not sound like a problem, has become a lot of people’s “unspeakable secrets”. A previous statistic also shows that 1 in 10 Chinese are affected by constipation, and among all patients seen, about 75% belong to chronic constipation. Constipation is a common clinical disease, we eat food every day there is always a little in the upper folds of the intestinal tract, in the intestinal tract stay too long can not be excreted in time, and because a lot of water is absorbed, so that the stool body becomes dry and hard, the formation of constipation. Especially in the elderly, pregnant women, children and dieting dieters, the incidence of constipation is very high. Constipation not only retains itself in the body to form a “dumping ground”, but also brings a series of diseases. Constipation has the following major “sins” A, constipation will affect the “face” problem long-term constipation to increase the burden on the liver, body toxins are not discharged in a timely manner, which will make the body’s endocrine system malfunction, hormone metabolism dysregulation, resulting in facial This will lead to abnormal pigmentation of the face, chloasma, darkening of the skin, acne and acne, etc. Second, leading to anorectal disorders When constipation, dry stool makes defecation difficult, which can directly cause or strengthen anorectal disorders, such as proctitis, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, etc. Third, gastrointestinal nerve disorders stool retention, absorption of harmful substances will induce gastrointestinal nerve disorders, resulting in abdominal distension, loss of appetite and other symptoms. Constipation makes bowel movements too hard, causing rectal muscle fatigue, excessive contraction of the anal muscles, making the pelvic floor congestion, resulting in a loss of libido, sexual life without orgasm, etc.. Foreign scientists have done statistics, stool stored in the colon for more than 12 hours, it will produce 22 kinds of harmful substances and carcinogenic substances, absorbed by the intestinal tract may develop cancer. The results of a report show that the incidence of colon cancer in people with constipation is more than four times the normal rate. When constipation metabolites stagnate in the digestive tract for a long time, the role of bacteria produce a large number of harmful substances, such as methane, phenols, ammonia, etc. These substances partially diffuse into the central nervous system, interfering with brain function, highlighted by memory loss, distraction, slow thinking, etc. Seven, induced heart, cerebrovascular disease constipation itself does not produce fatal danger, if older and suffering from cardiovascular disease, then it becomes a risk factor. Because of the force in defecation, blood pressure will be higher than usual, the body’s oxygen consumption increased, easy to induce such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, sudden death from stroke, such cases in the clinical increase year by year. From another perspective, constipation can also be used as a mirror of the body, reflecting many aspects of the problem. For example, in the early stage of colorectal cancer, some patients show constipation. In addition, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte disorders and autoimmune problems may also lead to constipation.
