Do you also have this experience: when you are in class or in a meeting, you suddenly feel that the poo comes uninvited, so embarrassing ~ although this idea occupies the brain, but still told us to hold it back, but then how to go to the toilet, but no longer feel. Where did the poo that was held back go? Today we will help you to explore – the destination of the stool. 1, where did the stool go? In fact, the unexpelled stool is still in the intestines, but the water it contains is reabsorbed, resulting in a smaller stool, so people lose the urge to poop. So hold back the stool, the next stool will come very late, because the stool has to re-accumulate to a certain volume, and only then “transport” down. 2, the dangers of holding stool cancer factors increase holding is a bad habit, stool if not discharged in time, the water will be repeatedly absorbed by the intestines, resulting in more dry stool difficult to discharge. If the toxins in the stool are accumulated in the body for a long time and the harmful substances are absorbed by the intestines, symptoms such as mental depression, dizziness and loss of appetite will occur, and in serious cases, it may even cause intestinal cancer. In addition to pathological reasons, people generally do not deliberately hold their stools, but the accumulation of feces in the intestine for too long will indeed cause some problems. The stool that accumulates in the intestine becomes drier and harder as water is absorbed, leading to strenuous defecation, which is very dangerous in patients with cardiovascular disease because the sudden increase in abdominal pressure and sympathetic excitation may lead to As syndrome, or cardiogenic syncope. Causes constipation Poor bowel habits, irregular bowel movements and holding stools can easily cause constipation, which is correlated with the occurrence of colon cancer and other tumors, but is not a determining factor. So you don’t need to be nervous to run to the toilet, just because you defecate once a few days doesn’t mean that you have absorbed the toxins in the stool. 3.How to avoid the habit of “holding stool”? There are two special bowel reflexes that you can catch every day. At the time of waking up in the morning, after a night of digestion, intestinal peristalsis has been able to transport the stool down, there will be a particularly strong defecation reflex after waking up, at this time if you rush to the toilet to defecate, the body will feel very relaxed all day. After breakfast Breakfast is the time when a new day begins to eat. After eating, the intestines become active and peristaltic, and people also have a strong reflex to defecate at this time. Some people may not have time in the morning and may have their bowel movements after lunch or nap. It is of course best to have a regular bowel movement every day, because this strengthens the bowel reflex, and it is easy for the body to get rid of this problem regularly every day. If you are not constipated, there is nothing wrong with irregular bowel movements every day, as long as you can make sure that you have one bowel movement every day. The reason why I repeatedly emphasize the need to develop good bowel habits is because I am afraid that some people do not have the habit of having regular bowel movements and can only have a bowel movement once every few days (for example, 4 to 5 days), which is definitely not healthy. Therefore, we should start paying attention from the little bit, so as not to make a small constipation into a big disease. Drink more water. Constipation is caused by the fact that the stool stays in the large intestine for too long and the water it contains is absorbed in large quantities, making it difficult to pass stool. To defecate smoothly, we need to make the intestinal cavity has enough water to soften the stool, therefore, to drink more water. But drinking water should also be skillful, if small sips of water, water flow is slow, water is easily absorbed in the stomach, resulting in urine. Therefore, constipated people drink water is best to drink in large gulps (i.e., drink full mouth), swallowing action faster, so that the water can reach the colon as soon as possible, while stimulating intestinal peristalsis, improve the symptoms of constipation. If convenient, massage the abdomen 30-40 times at night before going to bed, the order is lower right abdomen – upper right abdomen – upper left abdomen – lower left abdomen, also can relieve constipation. Drinking water can increase the frequency of urination and defecation, and expel harmful substances, such as urea and uric acid, which may irritate the bladder mucosa and colon, thus serving to reduce the risk of bladder cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.
