The pain of constipation can only be felt by those who have experienced it.
The kind of person who stays in the toilet for several hours, and his legs are squat and numb before squeezing out a little air;
That kind of can't be pulled out for several days, and the small belly seems to be like being pregnant for three months;
The kind of thing that others can solve in three or five minutes, after a quarter of an hour, you are still trying desperately and gasping for breath...
If you just make the body feel uncomfortable, it is good, but if you use too much force, it is not good to have a "chrysanthemum full of buttocks", it is a little serious.
Men's long-term constipation is relieved by taking medicine alone, but the result is intestinal cancer
Recently, according to media reports: Mr. Zheng, 67, in Nanjing, has always had constipation and usually relies on taking drugs to relieve symptoms.
But in the past few days, Mr. Zheng found that his symptoms of discomfort had worsened again, so he went to the hospital for the first gastrointestinal endoscopy, and the results found that it was bowel cancer.

At the same time, for overweight, long-term constipation, family history of gastrointestinal tumors, etc., it belongs to the high-risk group of bowel cancer, so it is recommended that people over 40 years old need to do regular gastrointestinal endoscopy screening.
What do we need to do to relieve constipation?
You know, eating and drinking Lasa has always been a basic part of people's lives, and defecation problems have a great impact on quality of life and happiness.
Suffering from constipation for a long time will not only affect the quality of life, but also trigger psychological negative effects such as anxiety.
In turn, these psychological problems can once again aggravate the symptoms of constipation, thus introducing a vicious circle.
Therefore, to alleviate constipation, we need to do these things well:
1. Eat a balanced diet
Eat more vegetables and fruits, the body absorbs enough dietary fiber can help the intestine peristalsis, the intestine to speed up the rate of peristalsis to promote the body's digestion, which will make us have regular defecation.

Regularly drinking warm boiled water can better discharge the waste generated by the human body, reduce the difficulty of defecation, and alleviate the situation of constipation.
3. Do more exercise
Prolonged sedentary inactivity slows down gastrointestinal motility and can also cause constipation.
For patients with constipation, walking around more after meals can enhance the ability of intestinal peristalsis and digestion, and can reduce the trouble of constipation. After half an hour of eating, you can go for a walk outside, which can promote intestinal absorption.
After a meal, you can't lie down immediately or exercise vigorously, which is not conducive to intestinal absorption, and may even have gastrointestinal cramps and aggravate constipation.
4. Regular defecation
Sometimes many people have no time to go to the toilet due to busy work, which slowly causes constipation.
The body needs to excrete every day, if you often hold back and do not go to the toilet, over time the brain will also remember this signal, and finally lead to our excretion cycle lengthening, the accumulated excretion will also increase.
Develop the habit of fixing bowel movements, and the symptoms of constipation will improve if you persist.
The formation of constipation and our daily living habits and eating habits are closely related, often eat fried food, do not exercise and other habits will lead to our constipation, usually should pay more attention to diet health, maintain a healthy life can effectively help us stay away from constipation.
Of course, constipation is sometimes a sign of serious illness.

If you usually have a bowel movement once a day, and suddenly find that the bowel movements are becoming more and more irregular, even only 2-3 times a week, and your age is just over 50 years old, then you need to be vigilant.
At this time, it is recommended to perform a gastrointestinal endoscopy as early as possible.
