How can we judge whether our intestines are healthy?

Whether the intestine is healthy or not can be judged by the shape, frequency, color and time of defecation. Intestine is the digestive organ in the human body, and it is also the place where defecation is produced and promoted. Whether the intestine is healthy or not is to make a correct judgment by observing the shape and color of defecation and the time and frequency of defecation.

First of all, the shape of the stool

When judging whether the intestine is healthy, you can look at the shape of the stool. When your intestines are healthy, the feces discharged by your body are curved, serpentine and soft. If the stool is found to be watery or extremely dry, sometimes there will be a feeling of endless defecation, indicating that there are health problems in the intestine, and relevant inspections should be done in time.

Second, the frequency of defecation.

Whether defecation frequency is normal or not is closely related to intestinal health, because it takes some time for food to be digested after it enters the human intestine. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for adults to defecate more than three times a week, and they can keep defecating once a day, indicating that the intestines are extremely healthy, but defecating more than three times a day is diarrhea, which may cause intestinal inflammation and need timely symptomatic treatment.

Third, the color of stool.

When judging whether the intestines are healthy, you can also look at the color of the stool. When the human intestine is healthy, the discharged feces are khaki or reddish brown, but people will temporarily change the color of feces after eating some foods containing natural pigments. If you find that the discharged stool is bloody or black, you should be vigilant. There may be digestive problems or intestinal diseases.

Fourth, defecation time.

When judging whether the intestine is healthy or not, you can also observe your defecation time. Under normal circumstances, the time for defecation should be about 5 minutes. If you can't defecate for a long time, it means that the intestine is unhealthy, which may be intestinal heat, intestinal dryness or hemorrhoids, and it needs timely treatment. If the defecation is abnormal for a long time, it will aggravate the condition of the intestine, prone to rectal prolapse or rectal cancer, and seriously endanger human health.
