The harm of stool retention is so serious

Without developing good bowel habits, constipation often occurs. Over time, stool retention will appear and accumulate more and more, eventually causing anorectal diseases, inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, causing women to have dull complexion, rough skin, acne, abdominal distension and pain, bad breath, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, irritability, etc.

1. Stool retention can cause anorectal diseases. It leads to difficulty in defecation and dry stool, which can directly cause or aggravate anorectal diseases such as proctitis, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, etc. According to data, about 10% of people with severe constipation suffer from colon cancer.

2. Stool retention causes fecal ulcers. Hard fecal masses compress the intestinal cavity, causing it to narrow. The surrounding structures of the pelvic cavity hinder the expansion of the colon, causing the rectum or colon to be compressed and form ulcers. In severe cases, intestinal perforation may occur.

3. Stool retention can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There is an increasing trend year by year for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, sudden death from stroke, etc., which are caused by increased abdominal pressure due to constipation and holding the breath to defecate.

4. The toxins in the stool are repeatedly absorbed by the intestines and reach various parts of the human body through blood circulation, causing women to have dull complexion, rough skin, acne, abdominal distension and pain, bad breath, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, irritability, etc.

5. The accumulation of stool leads to a disorder in the human excretion system. Food residues in the intestines cannot be discharged in time, and accumulate in the folds of the intestine and are absorbed by the intestinal wall. Gradually, women's slender figures have changed, and men's pot bellies have become more and more prominent!

6. Stool retention can easily cause women to suffer from dysmenorrhea, vaginal spasm, urinary retention, urinary tract infection and other symptoms.

7. Stool retention affects brain function. The residues that have been stagnant in the intestines for a long time, under the action of bacteria, produce a large amount of harmful substances, such as methane, phenol, ammonia, etc. Some of these substances diffuse into the central nervous system and interfere with brain function. The prominent manifestations are memory loss, distraction, slow thinking, frequent headaches, insomnia, irritability, etc.

Relevant surveys have found that the intestinal age of adolescents aged 10 to 20 shows a clear aging trend, especially in girls. This phenomenon is closely related to their bad eating habits and other life factors. However, some office workers suffer from dysfunction of the nervous and endocrine systems and intestinal dysfunction due to high work pressure and frequent drinking and social events, which in turn cause intestinal aging. Intestinal aging can endanger health and life.
