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 to help you explore – the destination of the stool. Where does the stool go? In fact, the unexpelled stool is still in the intestine, but the water it contains is reabsorbed, resulting in a smaller stool, so the person loses the urge to poop. Therefore, after holding back the stool, the next stool will come very late, because the stool must accumulate again to a certain volume, and only then “transport” down. The dangers of holding stool 1, cancer-causing factors increase holding is a bad habit, stool if not discharged in time, 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 harmful substances are absorbed by the intestines, symptoms such as mental depression, dizziness and loss of appetite will appear, 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 intestines for too long will indeed produce some problems. Stool accumulation in the intestine will become more and more dry and hard as water is constantly absorbed, resulting in 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, that is, cardiogenic syncope. 3, cause constipation Poor bowel habits, irregular bowel movements, and holding stool 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. How to avoid the habit of “holding stool”? There are two special bowel reflexes that you can catch every day. 1, the morning when the intestines after a night of digestion, intestinal peristalsis has been able to transport the stool down, after waking up there will be a particularly strong defecation reflex, at this time if you hurry to the toilet defecation, the body will feel very relaxed all day. 2, after breakfast Breakfast is a new day just started to eat, after eating, the intestines and stomach began to be active, peristalsis, people also have a very strong defecation reflex. But still, the bowel reflex depends on the person, some people may not have time in the morning, bowel movements may be in lunch, after the 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 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. So we should start paying attention from the little bit, do not make the small constipation into a big disease. 3, drink more water constipation is because the stool in the large intestine stay too long, the water contained in it is absorbed a lot, so that the stool is difficult to discharge. To defecate smoothly, we must 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. As the ancients say, “A gentleman endures what others cannot, tolerates what others cannot, and deals with what others cannot.” “Feces otherwise, in order to pass for the smooth also, in order to be healthy, is not it fast?”
