The joys and sorrows of mankind are not the same: On one hand, the people in the districts and counties that have "withdrawn from the group" are celebrating, while on the other hand, the people in the "final round" are looking forward to it. When it comes to taking a shit, some people are happy and some are sad. I squatted the longest, dragged my legs the most, farted the smelliest, and took the most intestinal cleansing medicine, but I couldn't poop at all. Only those who have experienced constipation know that diarrhea is also a kind of happiness... We invited Dr. Ma Qin from the Department of Gastroenterology at West China Hospital of Sichuan University to teach patients with constipation how to defecate smoothly. ▽ A good person Why can't I poop? When it comes to constipation, many people fall into a misunderstanding: "I didn't get my hand out today, are you constipated?" If I don’t poop on one day out of 7 days in a week, I will blame myself for constipation. There are some criteria for constipation: Fewer than 3 bowel movements per week Straining, difficulty, feeling of incomplete defecation, and prolonged defecation Defecation is also accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, dizziness, blood in the stool and other symptoms The stool is dry and hard Why would someone who was fine before suddenly become constipated one day? There may be three reasons: Functional constipation It is mainly caused by eating habits . In fact, most people are constipated because of this reason. Especially during this epidemic, there is nothing to do in the house. Every day, we think about what to eat. Every meal has less vegetables and more meat, so constipation is inevitable. Or if you just like to hold back the urge to defecate , or have bad habits like playing with your phone while defecating, these are all functional constipation. Organic constipation It is mainly caused by constipation due to intestinal and anal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures and colorectal cancer. Other causes of constipation It is mainly caused by some chronic diseases such as abnormal thyroid function, diabetes, and the use of calcium antagonists, antidepressants, anticholinergics and other drugs . The worst thing about constipation is... In addition to causing rectal and anal diseases , constipation is also prone to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially in the elderly. If defecation is difficult, it can easily induce stroke, myocardial infarction , etc. In addition to "destroying" your body, defecation has another most serious disadvantage: it can cause you social death! First, destroy your career Constipation may cause bad breath ! The food residues you eat are mainly decomposed by the large coliform group, but due to constipation, the feces produced cannot be eliminated in time and continue to "ferment" in the intestines. Part of the produced gas is discharged through the mouth, which will cause bad breath. This smell may be the smell of stinky tofu, garlic, or durian. Just imagine that when you are reporting to your boss, the smell from your mouth goes straight to his head. This scene... Secondly, threaten your love People with constipation will seize every opportunity to poop! If you are visiting your partner's house during this time and suddenly feel a strong urge to poop, don't say anything. This is a rare opportunity, so go for it! You sit on the toilet and use all your strength to finally poop out a thick, hard, dry, black poop . But when you flush, you find that the poop is like a piece of iron and you can't flush it down no matter how hard you flush... You may see your partner's entire family smiling awkwardly but politely. Resolving constipation Are you still taking "intestinal cleansing and detoxification" health products? After hearing this, the doctors from West China collapsed and burst into tears! I don’t know if I can throw it smoothly, but the “javelin” can definitely be thrown far! These "intestinal cleansing and detoxification" health products sold outside are not high-tech at all. They just contain a little bit of strong laxative ingredients . After taking these health products containing stimulant laxatives, they will strongly stimulate the large intestine to excrete water quickly, dilute the stool and excrete it, causing you to have diarrhea. Doesn't sound like a big deal? It's just adding a laxative. However, long-term use of such irritating drugs will disrupt the normal peristalsis of the intestines, damage the secretory function , lead to colon melanosis , and may cause cancer over time. In particular, long-term use of strong laxatives will cause irreversible damage to intestinal function and motility. In the end, you may not be able to defecate normally and need to rely on laxatives all the time. Do you think this is harmful? In a word: it can only be used occasionally as an emergency measure. Enemas are also quite irritating to the intestines, and frequent use will disrupt the normal function of the colon. Not only that, if enema is used for a long time, the intestinal sensitivity to stimulation will gradually decrease, until it may eventually lose its effect and induce more serious constipation. So it is OK for emergency use, but it is not OK for creating dependencies. These are some ways to relieve constipation Not very reliable Bananas, yogurt, honey... How many people with constipation have not tried these legendary "laxative foods"? But is it effective after taking it? Not necessarily. Let’s talk about bananas first . They are indeed rich in dietary fiber and can promote intestinal peristalsis, but the content is really not very impressive: every 100 grams of bananas contains 1.2 grams of dietary fiber. Pears, dragon fruits, and apples can surpass it by a few gambles. Speaking of yogurt , if you want it to achieve the function of "laxative and regulating intestinal balance", it needs to contain a large amount of probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium . Some merchants advertise that it contains millions of probiotics. After production, transportation, storage and then drinking, you can't say how many of them can reach your stomach. Finally, let's talk about honey . If the constipation is caused by internal heat or dry stool, you can try it . However, for cases such as insufficient intestinal motility, lack of dietary fiber, dysbacteriosis, functional constipation, etc., drinking honey water is not very useful. But then again, everyone reacts to food differently, and there are many causes of constipation. If eating the above things really relieves constipation, you can continue to try it . If it doesn’t help much, then there is no need to continue. So don’t worry about what to eat to relieve constipation, the best thing is what suits you. I want to poop easily. Try these methods Lactulose Lactulose mainly works in the colon and improves mild to moderate constipation. It is an over-the-counter drug. Although it contains the word "sugar", it can also be used by diabetic patients. Improve your diet Eat more whole grains, more vegetables and fruits, maintain a nutritious balance between meat and vegetables, and don't avoid meat at all. Exercise more and drink water frequently Ensure a certain amount of exercise every day and drink small amounts of water frequently. Develop good bowel habits Insist on regular bowel movements every day, do not play with your phone or read newspapers while defecating, and do not hold it in when you feel the urge to defecate. ▽ “Take pooping seriously Pull with a pious heart Don't play with your phone, don't read newspapers, don't be distracted Most of the time Whether you squat, stand or sit You can pull out good poop |
