Chest distension when straining to have a bowel movement is mainly related to the increase in intra-abdominal pressure when straining to have a bowel movement.
Due to constipation, defecation difficulties and other factors lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure when straining to have a bowel movement, due to the upward reflux of gases, which causes the diaphragm to lift up and reduce the amplitude of movement, the volume and compliance of the thoracic cavity decreases, and the thoracic cavity pressure increases, which is manifested as chest flatulence when straining to have a bowel movement.
For patients who have difficulty in defecation, they can drink a cup of warm water early in the morning or massage the abdomen clockwise before going to bed every night to promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve intra-abdominal pressure, which will help defecation.
In daily life, we should pay attention to regular life, improve dietary habits, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits that contain more crude fiber. Defecate regularly, do not hold your bowels. Avoid overeating and eating spicy, greasy and other stimulating foods.
Constipation or other discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to determine the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or treatment.
