Constipation can lead to many diseases, such as “general belly”, age spots, mental depression, body aches, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, bowel cancer, etc. are all related to constipation. Constipation is only considered when the frequency of your bowel movements is significantly less than usual, or when your stools become dry, hard and difficult to pass. However, long-term constipation will cause bloating, loss of appetite, bad taste in the mouth, irritability and other auto-intoxicating symptoms due to the harmful substances produced in the body can not be discharged in time and absorbed into the bloodstream, which will cause anemia, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, rectal ulcers, and increase the incidence of rectal cancer in addition to the other symptoms. Constipation and bowel cancer have a close relationship Clinical data show that: in the discovery of “breast pre-cancerous lesions” in 23.2% of women with symptoms of constipation, and no constipation only accounted for 5.1%; human intestines have five kinds of bacteria can make fecal fermentation and colon cancer-related cancer-causing mutagen, constipation and bowel cancer have a close relationship. In addition, the toxins produced by food dregs under the action of intestinal bacteria can reach the brain through blood circulation and stimulate the brain nerves, so that the development of children’s memory, logical thinking and creative thinking ability is affected. Examination results show that one out of 20 women who have bowel movement once a day has abnormal breast cell development, while one out of four women who have bowel movement less than twice a week has abnormal breast cell development. What is the relationship between long-term constipation and breast cancer? There is a mutagen in the feces of constipated people. It has been determined that the mutagen is similar to several known carcinogens. After these mutagenic substances are absorbed through the intestines, they can enter the breast tissue which is quite sensitive to them with the blood circulation, so the possibility of breast cancer will be obviously increased. The danger of constipation can never be taken lightly Although constipation itself is seldom a direct fatal danger, but if you are older, suffering from cardiovascular disease, constipation may be a fatal risk factor: constipation makes it necessary to exert oneself when defecating, so that the blood pressure will rise, the body’s consumption of oxygen increases, and it is easy to induce cerebral hemorrhage, angina pectoris, and heart attack and endangering life. It is these dangers that make both Western and Chinese medicine doctors recommend that you keep your bowels open.
