However, her husband came across an article one day that said that washing his buttocks regularly could cause damage to the skin around his anus and could even cause infection. He was very worried after reading the article, so he showed it to Ms. Liu and advised her to stop washing her buttocks.
Ms. Liu was also a little confused after reading the article, she didn't know if this habit was good or bad. She didn't want to cause health problems because of her habits, but she felt that it was very unhygienic not to wash her butt with water after pooping. So, she decided to ask the doctor.

The doctor further explained that as long as you pay attention to the washing strength and wiping products, problems such as skin sensitivity and infection that may lead to frequent buttock washing can be avoided. If you are worried that washing your buttocks with clean water will cause damage to your skin or do not have the conditions to clean your buttocks, then using soft toilet paper or wet wipes is also a good choice.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Ms. Liu finally understood. Since then, Ms. Liu has followed her doctor's advice and insisted on the habit of washing her buttocks with water after stool, but she will pay attention to the moderate intensity of washing and will pay attention to wiping with soft toilet paper or wet wipes to avoid damage to the skin.

So, is it really necessary to wash your butt with water after pooping? Is it good for the body to insist on washing your butt for a long time? Next, we will explore this question together.
First, should I wash my butt with water after pooping?
Of course, it is necessary to wash with water after pooping, first of all, let's understand the benefits to the body of long-term adherence to washing your butt after using the toilet:
1) Clean the area: Washing the butt with water after stool can remove dirt and bacteria from the anus and surrounding skin, reducing the risk of infection. Compared to wiping with toilet paper, washing cleans the area more thoroughly, reducing residual bacteria and dirt, thereby reducing the risk of infection and skin problems.
2) Promote blood circulation: Washing the buttocks with warm water after using the toilet can effectively regulate the blood flow around the anus, improve the circulation of substances in the external environment, and help prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids and other perianal diseases. During defecation, the muscles around the anus are stimulated, and the water flow can relieve the source of stimulation, eliminate muscle tension, and promote blood flow.
3) Relieve discomfort: For people with hemorrhoids, washing the butt with water after stool can relieve the discomfort of the anus. Washing can clean the anus, reduce bacterial irritation, reduce inflammation and edema, and thus relieve the discomfort caused by hemorrhoids.
4) Prevent infection: Washing your butt with water in time after stool can prevent bacteria from growing around the anus, thereby reducing the risk of infection. Especially after using uncleaned public toilets, there are many people there who are concerned about hygiene. If you change your underwear immediately after returning home and wash them with clean water, you can effectively reduce the possibility of bacterial infection.
However, some people will worry that washing their buttocks will cause skin damage around the anus. In fact, this risk can be avoided as long as you pay attention to the following points:
1. Clean water quality: For a healthy person, just clean after using the toilet, use clean water to wash, and do not need to add various drugs. And firmly avoid using chemicals such as dirty water or soap to irritate the skin around the anus. If an automatic toilet or a special outlet pipe is installed in the home, it will be better to use warm running water for post-toilet cleaning, and the water flow will take away bacteria and dirt more effectively.
2. Suitable water temperature: Avoid using too cold or too hot water to stimulate the skin around the anus, the right temperature can relieve muscle tension and promote blood circulation.
3. Appropriate strength: gently wipe around the anus to avoid skin damage caused by excessive force.
4. Wipe supplies: Choose soft toilet paper or wet wipes to wipe around the anus, avoid using rough paper or excessive paper volume to irritate the skin.
To sum up, washing your butt with water after pooping is good for the body. Long-term adherence to this habit can help keep the area clean and hygienic and prevent the occurrence of perianal diseases. Of course, while paying attention to cleaning, we must also pay attention to water quality, water temperature, wiping products and strength, etc., to avoid unnecessary damage to the skin. In addition, for patients with anorectal diseases, sitz baths can be taken while washing their buttocks after using the toilet, which can help relieve symptoms and promote recovery.
In our daily life, personal hygiene is an important part that cannot be ignored. However, many times we may overlook some details, so what are the possible adverse effects if a person rarely washes her butt, resulting in her ass being unclean for a long time?
Second, what problems will occur if the butt is not clean for a long time?
1. Skin problems
Long-term unclean butt may cause skin problems. Since the skin around the anus is exposed to a humid, sweaty environment for a long time, coupled with the residue of feces and urine, these factors may cause skin inflammation, such as eczema, jock itch and other skin diseases. When these conditions occur, they may cause discomfort such as itching and pain.
It is worth mentioning that the recurrent and lingering eczema of perianal eczema is its important feature, and patients need long-term treatment and care to reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence. Prolonged discomfort and pain may lead to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. These psychological problems may affect the patient's quality of life and reduce the efficiency of work and study.
2. Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a common anorectal disease with a high incidence, especially in men. This is related to a variety of factors, including and rectal anatomy, eating habits, lifestyle habits, and intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea. The main symptoms of hemorrhoids include bleeding, pain, and prolapse, and may require surgery in severe cases.
There are a large number of bacteria in the and rectal areas, including E. coli, Clostridium, Candida, etc. If these bacteria enter the anus or rectum, they can cause infection and lead to the formation of hemorrhoids. Therefore, long-term unclean buttocks may also cause hemorrhoids. Keeping the and rectal areas clean and hygienic and avoiding infection is one of the important measures to prevent hemorrhoids.
3. Perianal abscess
The special structure of the sinuses makes it susceptible to feces and secretions, which can lead to infection and inflammation. If a person does not wash their buttocks for a long time, causing substances such as perianal feces to remain, the anal sinuses may be compressed or damaged, allowing feces or secretions to enter the anal sinuses, causing infection. If secretions in the sinus are blocked, it may cause inflammation and infection of the sinus, which in turn can lead to gland abscesses and perianal abscesses.
As anorectal abscesses grow, they gradually spread to surrounding tissues, forming larger areas of infection. When the abscess is too large or the patient's own resistance is weak, the abscess ruptures, forming one or more sinus tracts, which is the process by which an fistula forms. After the formation of an fistula, patients will repeatedly experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and pus discharge around the anus, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life.
Long-term unclean buttocks can lead to a variety of problems, including skin problems, hemorrhoids, anal fistula, and perianitis, among others. These problems can affect our quality of life, so it is very important to practice good hygiene.
We should pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the anus and the skin around it clean and dry, conduct regular physical examinations, and promptly detect and treat possible diseases. In addition to this, there are many things we can do for health and quality of life.
Third, what else can be done to maintain health?
health is closely related to people's daily lives. A healthy anus helps people to have smooth bowel movements and reduces the incidence of diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids. diseases not only cause physical pain to people, but can also have an impact on daily life and work. Therefore, maintaining health is very important for everyone.
First of all, it is crucial to maintain health through a balanced diet. Increasing dietary fiber intake helps soften stool and prevent constipation. At the same time, maintaining adequate hydration can also help prevent constipation and hemorrhoids. Too many fine foods and high-calorie foods should be avoided in the diet to reduce the risk of diseases such as hemorrhoids.
Secondly, proper exercise can help people maintain good health, including health. Regular aerobic exercise, such as walking, running, etc., can promote blood circulation and help prevent hemorrhoids and other diseases. In addition, performing pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel exercises) can also strengthen the muscles around the anus and improve the level of health.
Finally, we need to develop good bowel habits. Try to defecate at the same time every day and develop good bowel habits. This helps to form a normal intestinal rhythm and promotes the excretion of stool. When you have the intention to defecate, you should defecate in time to avoid tolerating it. Tolerating stool for a long time will weaken the intestinal response to feces, which can easily lead to constipation. Also, never sit in the toilet for a long time. Sitting in the toilet for a long time will compress the anus for a long time and easily cause hemorrhoids. The time during bowel movements should be kept as short as possible to avoid spending too much time in the toilet.
"Do you want to wash your butt with water after pooping?" People who insist on washing for a long time, is it good for the body? The answer to this question is yes. Long-term adherence to washing the butt with water is good for the body, especially for women, people with hemorrhoids, the elderly and other specific groups of people.
Maintaining health is an important part of maintaining good health, and avoiding excessive fatigue and getting regular sleep can also help prevent the occurrence of diseases. Everyone should pay attention to health problems and actively take measures to improve their quality of life.
