In fact, "black intestine" patients are rare, medicine called "colorectal melanosis", is a disease usually associated with long-term poor use of laxatives, dark pigment deposition in the colon (colon) of the intrinsic layer (one of the lining layer), pigment deposition leads to the unique dark brown to black discoloration of the inner wall of the large intestine. Pigment deposition consists of a pigment called lipofuscin, a cytochrome that is generally formed when cells are destroyed, and is often referred to as a "worn" pigment, which can actually be found throughout the body.
Not only in China, but also in the world, most of the "black intestines" of the sick population are caused by excessive or frequent intestinal cleaning, colon cleaning in the strict sense, usually used for intestinal endoscopy and other medical work and preparation, not everyone can carry out daily, but some one-sided theories, such as intestinal detoxification, led many people to start the so-called "intestinal detoxification" without medical basis and guidance.
First, healthy people do not need to clean the intestines and detoxify
In fact, for healthy people, there is no need to deliberately clean the intestines, because your digestive system and intestines have been removed from the normal human metabolism of daily waste products and bacteria. If the digestive tract is not diseased, deliberately stimulating the discharge of intestinal substances, such as microbiota, will lead to flora disorders, mucosal injuries and other health problems.
Second, the theory of colon cleansing lacks clinical data
Proponents of cleansing argue that toxins from the gastrointestinal tract can cause various health problems, such as arthritis and high blood pressure, and that cleaning up the colon can improve health by detoxifying, boosting energy and boosting the immune system. However, there is no clinical evidence that colon cleansing produces these effects or benefits. On the contrary, colorectal melanosis is usually caused by the self-use of anthracene laxatives, and some examples of anthracnoids are senna (senna), senokerate, Xenocate EXTRA, and rhubarb-related derivatives.
And many people say that clear intestines can lose weight, the intestines accumulate a lot of stool, in fact, there is no clinical proof that obese people are caused by the accumulation of stool, and the excessive weight of obese people should be on the whole body tissue, fat, rather than in the intestine, so the clear intestine is used for weight loss is even more lacking clinical basis.
Third, clean the intestines and health hazards
Back in 1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the use of popular laxatives for fear that it could cause cancer. Moreover, colon cleaning can sometimes cause minor side effects, such as cramps, bloating, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and more potential problems include: dehydration, tearing of the rectum (severe damage to the perforation of the intestinal mucosa), infection, changes in electrolyte balance, etc., which can seriously cause human failure and major diseases.
Fourth, chronic diseases to clean the intestines need to follow the advice of professional doctors
If you find that the body digestive tract discomfort, such as constipation, want to choose to try colon cleaning, it is recommended to first consult a professional doctor, and if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease and other chronic diseases, especially to inform the doctor, the chronic disease of the population taking drugs need special attention.
If you are already a patient with "black intestines", don't be too pessimistic, this situation can also be reversed after stopping laxatives. In addition, in some cases, the colon wall is normal to the naked eye, but a pathologist's microscopic evaluation of biopsy shows pigmented areas in the inner wall of the colon, which many people overlook early detection. Colon cleansing is a serious medical behavior, it is recommended not to operate on your own, daily consumption of more foods that promote intestinal digestion, such as yogurt, apples, bananas, etc.
