The dangers of abdominal bloating and constipation

1. Cause anorectal diseases

Constipation, difficulty in defecation and dry stool can directly cause or aggravate anorectal diseases. Such as proctitis, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, etc.

2. Gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction

When constipation occurs, feces retention and absorption of harmful substances can cause gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, belching, bitter taste in the mouth, and frequent flatus.

3. Formation of fecal ulcers

The harder fecal masses compress the intestinal cavity, causing it to narrow and the surrounding structures of the pelvis, hindering the expansion of the colon, and causing the rectum or colon to be compressed to form fecal ulcers. In severe cases, intestinal perforation may occur.

4. Colon cancer

It may be because constipation makes it impossible to eliminate carcinogens in the intestines for a long time. According to data, about 10% of people with severe constipation suffer from colon cancer.

5. Induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Clinically, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by constipation, which increases abdominal pressure, and holding the breath to defecate is increasing year by year. Such as inducing angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, sudden death from stroke, etc.

6. Cause sexual dysfunction

This is because each time you defecate, you exert yourself for a long time and forcefully, which causes rectal fatigue, tight anal contraction, and spasmodic contraction of the pelvic floor, resulting in no ejaculation or decreased libido, and no climax during sexual intercourse.
