alert! The ten major hazards of long-term constipation

Constipation refers to a condition in which feces stay in the intestines for too long, resulting in reduced frequency of bowel movements, dry and hard stools, and difficulty or incomplete excretion. Generally, not having a bowel movement for more than two days may indicate constipation. If you have bowel movements every day but have difficulty defecating and there is still a feeling of residual stool after defecation, or if you have abdominal distension, it should also be considered as constipation.

1. Affect beauty:

Patients with constipation are prone to acne, facial pigmentation, and rash because feces are retained in the intestines for a long time and ferment abnormally. After corruption, a large amount of harmful toxins are produced, which makes them prone to acne, facial pigmentation, and rash.

2. Lead to obesity:

Toxins cause edema in the large intestine and slow blood circulation in the lower body, which can easily lead to a pear-shaped figure and a fat belly.

3. Produce body odor:

The buildup of toxins can cause bad breath and body odor.

4. Food is tasteless:

Constipation can cause abdominal distension, nausea, loss of appetite, and loss of taste for food.

5. Neurasthenia:

Patients with constipation may have symptoms such as irritability, restlessness, and insomnia.

6. Cause dysmenorrhea:

Patients with chronic constipation often suffer from dysmenorrhea due to long-term pelvic muscle stimulation.

7. Decreased libido:

Patients with long-term constipation may have decreased libido, leading to impotence and premature ejaculation in men, and frigidity or lack of orgasm in women, which reduces the quality of their sex life.

Patients with constipation may suffer from anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal prolapse and colon diverticula. In addition, they are also prone to allergic diseases such as urticaria, asthma, gallstones, headaches, shoulder stiffness and many other diseases.

9. Inducing cancer:

In addition, it can also induce breast cancer: the harmful toxins of constipated patients continue to stimulate the intestinal mucosa, which can easily lead to colorectal cancer, and it can also induce breast cancer.

10. Cause sudden death:

Especially for patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, severe constipation can cause a sharp rise in blood pressure, resulting in stroke or even sudden death.
