The harm of squatting for a long time to defecate

With the popularity of mobile phones and the development of Internet information, more and more people use their mobile phones for entertainment while defecating. Therefore, this has led to the phenomenon that many people take too long to defecate. In fact, if a person takes too long to defecate, it will cause great harm to his body, and may also cause dizziness when standing up. Next, I will introduce to you the dangers of squatting for a long time to defecate.

Inhalation of toxic gases

When sitting on the toilet, a closed space is formed between the body and toxic substances. Over time, these toxic gases will enter the human body and in severe cases may cause various inflammations, such as anal inflammation, chronic vaginitis and even gynecological tumors such as cervical cancer. From this perspective, defecation should also be "short, flat and fast" to minimize the contact time between the human body and toxic substances.

Cause hemorrhoids

Studies have shown that squatting for more than 3 minutes can cause varicose veins and congestion in the rectum, and induce hemorrhoids. In addition, anal congestion can mislead the nervous system, sending false defecation signals to the central nervous system, causing the anus to feel swollen and heavy for a long time. Long-term prolonged bowel movement can also cause diseases such as rectal mucosal shedding.

Causes constipation

When squatting on the toilet, many people will read newspapers, magazines or play with mobile phones, which will inevitably distract their attention during defecation. The feeling of defecation will be missed if they are not careful, which will lead to delayed or no defecation, and artificially cause constipation. The urge to defecate is very precious to many people. Once you miss it, you may not be able to defecate no matter how hard you try. For those who find defecation difficult, do not regard going to the bathroom as a boring or painful thing, and do not try to kill time by reading or playing games. The more you do this, the more you will deliberately suppress the "urge to defecate", causing the conditioned reflex to disappear, and sitting on the toilet for half a day will be of no use.

Insufficient blood supply to the head and lower limbs

Squatting for too long can easily cause blood to flow downward, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain. A normal person will feel dizzy and have a headache if he or she suddenly stands up after squatting for a long time. The blood circulation is obstructed for a long time, and the cells are not supplied with enough oxygen. Once the blood flows back, some nerves will become numb. Some people often experience numbness in their legs.

If you often feel a swollen feeling in your anus, take preventive measures. Hurry up and learn the ancient health-preserving trick of "pinching the anus", which is the anus lifting exercise.

The method is: lift the anus upwards as if you are holding back a bowel movement, then relax, then lift it up again, lift and release, repeat this process. You can do this exercise while standing, sitting or walking, and do it about 50 times each time, lasting for 5-10 minutes. Kegel exercises can promote local blood circulation and prevent anal and perianal diseases such as hemorrhoids. If you are unfortunately suffering from hemorrhoids now, it is best to go to a regular hospital for treatment.

Warm reminder: What should you do if you have formed the habit of reading magazines, newspapers or playing with your mobile phone when going to the toilet? You must remind yourself not to bring your mobile phone and newspapers when going to the toilet. If you have a compulsive disorder of checking your Moments, then finish checking them first before going to the toilet.
