Patients who want to defecate when they are nervous are mostly considered to be due to phytodysfunction or irritable bowel syndrome, and the occurrence of both diseases is closely related to a person’s mental and psychological state. Therefore, patients should actively adjust their emotions to avoid long-term tension, anxiety or depression, and can be treated with medication as prescribed by the doctor: 1. Phytodysfunction: When the human body is tense, it stimulates sympathetic excitation and skeletal muscle tension, resulting in phytodysfunction, so there will be stools, frequent urination, panic, palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, profuse sweating and other related symptoms. This condition can be treated with deep breathing relaxation training, imaginary relaxation training, and progressive muscle relaxation training. Those with more severe symptoms can also apply anti-anxiety or antidepressant drugs to adjust under the guidance of a doctor, such as benzodiazepines, pentothal reuptake inhibitors, etc.; 2. Irritable bowel syndrome: When the body is stressed, it releases hormones to respond to the surrounding environment in order to maintain stable body functions. Such hormones may excite the nerves in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to faster intestinal peristalsis, causing a person to have bowel movements, manifested as abdominal discomfort, bloating, abdominal pain with changes in bowel habits. For treatment, antispasmodics such as piviramine, atropine and belladonna combination, laxatives such as methylcellulose, polyethylene glycol and lactulose, antidiarrheal drugs such as loperamide and compound phenylephrine, and motivational drugs such as mosapride and itopride can be applied under the guidance of doctors.
In addition, attention should be paid to developing good psychological quality, keeping a happy mood, avoiding tension, and paying attention to diet regulation.
