Have you ever had the experience that you wanted to defecate at first when you were in a meeting, or in class, or when you hated the poor hygiene of the toilet, but because of these reasons, you “endured” and went back. After holding your breath for a while, you didn’t feel at all. I don’t know when it will be the next time I feel like it
Where’s the stool that you “hold back”
Convenience is very precious. Zheng Lihua, deputy director of the anorectal Department of the China Japan Friendship Hospital, told 39 health.com that many people have the experience that if they hold their stools for a while, they will have no convenience. But the stool has not been discharged. Where has it gone?
In fact, the stool that has not been discharged is still in the intestinal tract, but the water contained in it is reabsorbed, resulting in a smaller volume of stool, so people lose their sense of defecation.
Therefore, after holding back the stool, the next time the stool will come very late, because the stool has to be accumulated to a certain volume again before it can be “transported”.
There is a saying of “sleeping stool” in the folk. From the literal meaning, it should refer to the feces accumulated in the body but not yet discharged.
However, according to Director Zheng, Suzi is a false concept. At least medically speaking, there is no such concept. For the stool that should be discharged, if it is not discharged in time, it can be defined as constipation.
Is it true that there will be toxins in the sleeping stool, as everyone has said? Director Zheng said that there are toxins in his stool. If he can’t discharge them in time, they will be reabsorbed by the intestinal tract, which is definitely harmful to the body. Therefore, it is necessary to discharge the feces that should be discharged regularly every day.
How to defecate every day is a healthy state? Director Zheng introduced that generally speaking, the rule is to form soft stool once a day, but it is not absolute. It can be done twice a day or once every two days. In addition, diarrhea is not a healthy state.
develop the habit of regular defecation, and grasp the two golden periods
It is regular to form the habit of regular defecation every day. There are two special defecation reflexes every day.
First, when you get up in the morning, your intestines have been digested all night, and your intestines have been able to transport feces down. After you get up, you will have a particularly strong defecation reflex. If you go to the toilet to defecate quickly at this time, your body will feel very relaxed all day.
Second, after breakfast, breakfast is the time when people begin to eat in the new day. After eating, their intestines and stomachs become active and move. At this time, people also have a strong defecation reflex.
However, it is still the same saying. The defecation reflex is tailored to individual conditions. Some people may not have time in the morning, and they may mean after lunch and siesta.
Director Zheng told us that it is of course the best to defecate regularly every day, because it can strengthen the defecation reflex, and solve this problem regularly every day, which makes the body very relaxed.
If there is no constipation, there is no problem with irregular defecation every day, as long as you can ensure that you can defecate once a day.
Why do we repeatedly stress the need to develop a good habit of defecation? It is because we are afraid that some people do not have the habit of defecating regularly and can only defecate once every few days (for example, 4-5 days). This state is definitely unhealthy.
Therefore, we should pay attention to it from the beginning. We must not develop small constipation into a serious disease.
