Six major causes of constipation in women: be careful not to get sick

　　1. Don’t defecate when it’s time to defecate, always hold it in

　　More than 30 minutes after breakfast, I vaguely felt the urge to defecate. I originally wanted to sit on the toilet and defecate calmly, but I looked at my watch and saw that I was almost late. To pull or not to pull? While hesitating, an angry face appeared in his mind. Whose face is it? Of course it's from the boss. Finally, I had to give up and rush to the unit. There must be many working people who have had such an experience. Also, when taking the subway or driving, I feel the urge to urinate, but I have no choice but to endure it. I thought about going to the bathroom as soon as I got to work, but as soon as I arrived at work, I had to hold regular meetings and group discussions. Three times five divided by two, the whole morning passed in such a hurry. In the end, the meaning of defecation is missed again and again in such busyness.

　　Tips: Often enduring inconvenience like this eventually leads to constipate . In giving up again and again, the large intestine becomes more and more unresponsive to the signal of the need to defecate, and gradually, the need to defecate is gone. In severe cases, I no longer have the desire to defecate. Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable, you should solve it immediately.

　　2. Always go to the toilet with a book or newspaper

　　There are always some people who must take a book or newspaper when going to the toilet. This is actually a very bad habit. When you have difficulty defecating, it seems very relaxing to sit on the toilet and read books and newspapers. However, many people may not know that if you are still sitting on the toilet after 10 minutes, it will cause unnecessary pressure on the anus. healthy This was how it was quietly destroyed.

　　Tips: It is best to defecate within 3 minutes, from sitting on the toilet to completion of excretion. If you exert force beyond this time, you will easily develop hemorrhoids. Therefore, we must abandon the idea that since we are sitting on the toilet, we must defecate, and we must defecate thoroughly. No, no, no, we should stand up decisively and get out of the toilet after a certain period of time. Even if you feel constipated afterwards, if you still have to go to the bathroom, don't sit on the toilet for too long.

　　3. Frequently wear a waist belt or shapewear

　　At Nara Women's University in Japan, a professor conducted a research survey on female students who wore waistbands and female students who did not wear waistbands. They were asked to eat the same food and the same amount, and then observed their bowel movements. The results of the study showed that girls who wore waistbands and bras had much less bowel movements than girls who did not wear such clothing. The reason, the professor suggested, is that tight clothing blunts parasympathetic nerve。

　　Tips: Tight clothing inhibits the parasympathetic nerves that regulate defecation activities, reducing the amount of digestive juice secreted in the large intestine. In the small intestine, the force that pushes food forward becomes weaker, so it takes longer than normal for food residues to pass through the large intestine. The professor pointed out that it is during this process that constipation can easily occur. So, if you have severe constipation female , try not to wear tight clothes, especially sleep When doing it, don’t put too much restraint on your body.

　　4. Rarely drink water.

　　It is best for patients with constipation to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Especially in the morning, drinking a glass of warm water on an empty stomach can wake up the large intestine and stimulate gastrointestinal reactions. Besides, 70% of stool is water. From this point of view, adequate water intake is very necessary to improve constipation. Because if our body lacks water, the water in the stool will be absorbed by the large intestine, and the stool will become dry. It is difficult for hard stool to pass through the rectum and anus smoothly, which makes defecation painful, causes damage to the anus, and causes adverse symptoms such as anal fissure.

　　Tips: Regarding water intake, let’s start by drinking more warm water or green tea. Those carbonated drinks such as cola and soda that produce gas, as well as those with strong diuretic effects coffee , black tea, etc. will absorb water in the body and have counterproductive effects, so it is best to drink as little as possible.

　　5. Thinking that it’s impossible not to have a bowel movement every day

　　Constipation is the abnormal retention of stool in the intestines. Medically, it is considered constipation if the number of bowel movements is less than 3 times a week and the daily bowel movement is less than 30g. However, if there is no special abnormality for people who have not had a bowel movement for 3 to 4 days, it is not a big problem.

　　Tips: If you have a bowel movement every day, but you have to exert a lot of effort every time, it takes too long to defecate, and you still have a feeling of residue or discomfort after defecation, you should suspect that you have constipation. Of course, the amount of bowel movements varies from person to person. If you don’t feel particularly uncomfortable, there is no need to insist on having one bowel movement a day. Defecation should also be comfortable and comfortable, and abandon unnecessary obsessive notions. Especially young girls who pay attention to their figure are easily misled by some wrong notions, such as defecating as much as they eat. In fact, the most important thing is to maintain a good mood and respect the laws of nature.

　　6. Habitually take constipation medicine

　　Wait a day or two, and if there is no urge to defecate, then start taking constipation medicine. This habit is simply the enemy of health. It is always effective at the beginning, but as time goes by, once drug resistance develops, in order to be effective, the dosage must be increased. This dependence on constipation drugs will eventually lead to the weakness of intestinal peristalsis, so that without the drug, the intestines can hardly move on their own.

　　Tips: Don’t take constipation medicine unless you have to. If you do, you must take it under the guidance of a doctor. Don’t be your own doctor.
