Going to the toilet is a "big thing" to face every day
But some constipated patients
It can be three or four days or even more than a week
No bowel movements
And there is not even the slightest desire to defecate....
Where did the that wasn't discharged go?
How are our poop generated?
Under normal circumstances, the food we eat will be digested first through the stomach, and the enzymes contained in various digestive juices such as gastric juice and pancreatic juice will be transformed into small molecule substances that can be dissolved in water, forming chyros into the small intestine.
Food into the small intestine, will absorb small molecules (glucose, amino acids, etc.) into the blood, generally at this time the water and nutrients in the food will be absorbed almost.
The remaining residue then enters the large intestine, whose main function is to absorb the remaining water and dry out the stool. After the food residue in the large intestine is dried, it is finally excreted through the anus.
In a healthy person, the stool time is usually about 30 hours at a time, and it is normal to have a bowel movement every 1 to 2 days.
No poop in a week, where did the go?
Patients with constipation, the stool that has not been discharged for several days, has not actually disappeared, and has always been in our large intestine.
However, due to the long period of time not discharged, the stool stays in the intestine for a long time, the water inside is absorbed, and the feces will become drier and drier, and even become hard stool.
Some people will excrete sheep manure when defecating, one grain at a time, which is a manifestation of excessive absorption of water in the feces by the intestine, and the feces are not gone, but become smaller.
Therefore, when you have the intention of defecation and want to defecate, you must go to the poop as soon as possible. If you hold the stool back, the moisture inside is absorbed and the stool becomes dry, making it difficult to defecate. If this continues for a long time, a vicious circle will be formed, and it will become more and more difficult to defecate.
To get rid of constipation, do these 4 points well
Increase water intake
Some friends do not like to drink water, feel thirsty will drink water, in fact, at this time is already a manifestation of physical lack of water, adults drink water per day to reach 1500 ~ 1700ml.
Enough water can keep our body normal metabolism, but also increase the amount of water in the feces, to a certain extent can treat constipation.
Regular bowel movements every day
Defecation is not very good, and even friends with constipation should develop the habit of regular defecation, and do not play mobile phones when defecating, many people sit on the toilet for a long time to play mobile phones, but forget to defecate. This can cause constipation and even hemorrhoids in the long run.
When you go to the toilet, you should seriously defecate, develop good defecation habits, whether there is any intention to defecate, go to the toilet at a fixed point in time, which is also very good for alleviating constipation.
Avoid sedentary and increase exercise
Some people's intestinal peristalsis is relatively slow, coupled with frequent inactivity, sitting in the office for a long time, resulting in more slow intestinal peristalsis, which will lead to less and less defecation.
Exercise should be exercised every day to help the stomach and intestines move better, and it can also improve the metabolism of the body and help the feces to be excreted faster.
Morning and evening can also be massaged on the abdomen, along the navel of the time for a few minutes of massage for the abdomen, repeated multiple times, can promote intestinal peristalsis, relieve constipation.
Eat more fruits and vegetables
Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and fiber, which is very helpful for promoting intestinal peristalsis, such as bananas, apples, dragon fruit, etc., and has a good effect on relieving constipation.
The daily diet can also consume more foods that can help clean the intestines, such as oats, fungus, etc. Oats can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and have great benefits for improving the health of the stomach and intestines.
