I often hear people say constipation in my life, so what is constipation? There are different opinions. First of all, you can't discharge it forcibly when defecating, or it takes a lot of effort to shoot it. Some people say that it is a long time without intention; Some people say that it is convenient but they want to wait. Some foreign scholars also believe that constipation can be considered if the defecation force is more than normal 1/3, or the defecation interval is more than 3 days. If there is discomfort after defecation or anal distension, should it be regarded as constipation even if you defecate 1 time or more every day? Of course, all the above complaints are symptoms of constipation, which shows that constipation affects everyone, and the old, the young and the weak are the main groups, which is distressing. Let's talk about the symptoms of constipation in detail. The following three situations meet one of them, all of which belong to constipation.
(1) Less defecation and less defecation.
I haven't had a bowel movement for a long time, and I don't have much once in a while; The stool is not too dry, but it has to be squatted for a long time before it can be discharged. This kind of constipation can be seen in slow transit constipation and outlet obstructive constipation. The former is due to the slow transmission, so that the defecation times and defecation are less, and the defecation can only occur at a long interval. The feces are often dry and hard, and it is difficult to defecate. The long time of squatting in the toilet belongs to constipation. If you eat too much refined grains, you may have less defecation and defecation, but it is very easy to defecate. This situation is not constipation, and eating more coarse grains can alleviate it.
(2) defecation is difficult and laborious
The outstanding performance is that it is extremely difficult to discharge feces, which can also be seen in two situations. The first case is outlet obstructive constipation, and it is more difficult for patients to defecate if their abdominal muscles are unable to contract. The second situation is that due to slow passage, too much water in the feces is absorbed, and the feces are dry and hard, especially if you don't defecate for a long time, it is extremely difficult to discharge the hard feces, and fecal impaction may occur, which may easily lead to anal fissure and bleeding. Usually, there is no feeling of carefree after discharge, but there is still a feeling of falling in the rectum or pain in the anus.
(3) Poor defecation
Although I have frequent thoughts, I can't get rid of them. There will be many phenomena in a serious day, even if I work hard, it will not help. It may be accompanied by anorectal irritation symptoms, such as heaviness, falling and discomfort. Such patients often have decreased sensory threshold, high rectal sensitivity, or are accompanied by abnormal rectal anatomy, such as intussusception and internal hemorrhoids. This kind of patients sometimes have endless defecation, often want to go to the toilet but can't get out; Every time I go to the toilet, I don't feel comfortable and squatting for a long time is not effective, so I end up in a hurry.
The harm of constipation to human body is mainly to damage anus and even cause hepatic portal bleeding. If there are anal diseases such as anal fissure and hemorrhoids, it will not only aggravate the pain and bleeding, but also aggravate the original anal diseases and even cause acute attacks or infections. Constipation doesn't seem to be life-threatening, but it is very harmful to human body. If the above three characteristics appear, we must pay attention to adjusting our eating habits in time. If it is serious, we should see a doctor and use drugs reasonably under the advice of the doctor.
