Why do I want to defecate after breakfast?

Defecation is the normal way for the human body to excrete food residues and toxic substances. Excessive defecation and difficulty in defecation are both very annoying things. Under normal circumstances, the food people eat will be digested in the stomach and small intestine for a long time before it becomes waste and is excreted from the body. This process of digestion, absorption and excretion is very long. If someone feels like defecating right after breakfast, this is not normal. So, what is the reason for wanting to defecate after eating breakfast?

1. Personal bowel habits

If you feel the urge to defecate after a meal due to habit or gastrointestinal pressure, and the stool is normal in shape, then it does not matter whether it is good or bad, it is just a matter of different personal bowel habits. After meals, it induces the peristaltic reaction of the gastrointestinal tract, causing the defecation reflex, which becomes a natural habit.

2. Caused by spleen deficiency and weak stomach

Symptoms caused by spleen deficiency, weak spleen and stomach, decreased digestive system function, and intestinal dysfunction will cause indigestion and increased frequency of bowel movements.

You can take appropriate drugs to regulate intestinal motility. During the treatment, you should pay attention to a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat more easily digestible foods, avoid fried and spicy foods, and pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm.

3. Chronic colitis

If you feel an urgent need to defecate after a meal and are also experiencing abdominal pain, lower abdominal distension and other symptoms, and your stool is mostly pasty and may contain mucus, then this may be a manifestation of colon dysfunction and chronic colitis. This disease is a functional disease characterized by a chronic course but no obvious effect on the physical constitution. Although there is diarrhea, stool examination often shows no obvious inflammation or other abnormal changes.

In this case, it is recommended to use Chinese medicine treatment under the guidance of a doctor based on syndrome differentiation and treatment. At the same time, the diet should be light and eat more fruits and vegetables.
