Many people will wait until the toilet is dirty before cleaning it. In fact, the inside and outside of the toilet are covered with bacteria. The best cleaning frequency is once every three days. If there are people with urinary system infection at home, it is best to use household disinfectant for disinfection and sterilization. Better wipe the outside of the toilet, too. Fix it with a rag and don't mix it with other rags.
Reading and smoking are taboo.
Reading and smoking when going to the toilet will distract attention, which will easily lead to poor defecation and even induce hemorrhoids. Old people squatting in the toilet and smoking while holding their breath will also increase the chances of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. It is best to be single-minded when defecating, not too hard. Don't force it if you can't get it out.
Sitting in the toilet has an optimal posture.
Many people have the same confusion: sitting on the toilet can't defecate, but squatting is easy. In fact, this is based on science. When the anorectal angle formed by rectal muscle and rectum is large and the rectum is straight, defecation will be smoother. When sitting, the anorectal angle is about 80~90 degrees. The anorectal angle can reach 100~ 1 10 degrees when squatting. In addition to the angle, high abdominal pressure during squatting also promotes defecation.
What should I do if I have difficulty defecating
Now most families have installed toilets. If you find it difficult to defecate when sitting in the toilet, what should you do to help defecate? Try the following methods:
1, it is best to step on the bench under your feet and lean forward slightly, which can increase abdominal pressure and help defecate smoothly.
2. When defecation is difficult, you can pat the sacrococcygeal bone and stimulate the intestine through vibration; Repeated coughing can not only increase abdominal pressure, but also effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events caused by forced defecation.
3, when defecating, use abdominal breathing, inhale through the nose, let the abdomen bulge like a ball, put pressure on the abdomen, and then suddenly contract the abdomen and exhale, which can supplement the abdominal pressure lacking in sitting posture and promote defecation.
If there are old people at home, it is best to open the toilet door outwards. If you open it inward, it will be difficult for the old man to push the door open after he accidentally falls to the ground. If possible, it is best to install handrails and convenient ring devices in the toilet, so that the elderly can inform their families in time if there is an accident.
