First, shit is human waste. When it is formed in the human body, if it is not discharged in time, the large intestine of the human body will continuously absorb the water and toxins in the feces, which means that people with constipation are often prone to grow peas, have bad skin color and hard stools. Constipation is also easy to cause hemorrhoids.
Secondly, defecation every day can help to excrete waste from the body, which is really the result of metabolism and will allow the body to re-enter more and better fresh substances. If it is not every day, the acidity left by body waste will lead to slow metabolism in the body and contain many toxins.
Etiology of constipation:
1. It is related to age.
(1) The prevalence of constipation in the elderly is significantly higher than that in young adults, mainly because the food intake and physical activity of the elderly decrease significantly with age.
2. Bad living habits
(1) Dietary factors: the elderly have lost their teeth and like to eat fine food with low residue, or a few patients have a simple diet and lack of crude fiber, which reduces the volume of feces, increases the viscosity, slows down the movement in the intestine, and causes constipation due to excessive water absorption.
3. Mental and psychological factors
(1) People with depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder are prone to constipation.
4. Intestinal lesions
(1) Intestinal diseases include inflammatory bowel disease, tumor, hernia, rectal prolapse, etc. These diseases lead to functional outlet obstruction and defecation disorder.
5. Systemic lesions
(1) Systemic diseases include diabetes, uremia, cerebrovascular accident and Parkinson's disease.
6. Iatrogenic (laxative abuse)
(1) Long-term use of laxatives, especially irritating laxatives, can cause nerve damage of intestinal mucosa, reduce intestinal muscle tension and lead to severe constipation.
