Some people defecate once a day, or once every two days; Some people shit two or three times a day. So, how many times a day is it normal for adults to defecate?
In fact, the standards are not so strict. Generally speaking, it is normal to defecate regularly 1~2 times a day, which is enough to eliminate intestinal waste. Therefore, it is normal to defecate 1~2 times a day at a relatively fixed time. If there is no abdominal pain and abnormal stool composition, it is normal to defecate 3~4 times a day. It is normal to defecate once every two days or more. It is best to defecate more than 3~4 times a day in time.
The large intestine will absorb water and some metabolites in feces. If you hold your shit for a long time, many problems will come to you.
1, constipation, hemorrhoids
Those who hold it will return to the colon, and the intestine will suck up the water in the stool, making it smaller. The stool will become dry and hard, and it is difficult to defecate. This is constipation. After constipation occurs, it takes more effort, and the dry stool is constantly rubbed, which will hurt the anal pad. After a long time, it will prolapse and form hemorrhoids.
2. Cardiovascular risk
After constipation, defecation becomes difficult. For people with poor cardiovascular system, forced defecation will increase abdominal pressure, increase the risk of sudden cardiovascular diseases, and may also lead to cerebral hemorrhage and cardiovascular accidents.
In addition, long-term defecation may also increase the risk of anorectal diseases, stimulate mucous membranes and lead to lesions.
There are many ways to solve the difficulty of defecation, including medication and lifestyle intervention.
1, drug therapy
Diarrhea is the most commonly used treatment method in clinic. Everyone's specific situation is different, and which method to adopt depends on the doctor's guidance.
2. Lifestyle intervention
1. Regulating diet is the key to prevent constipation. Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in dietary fiber, such as coarse grains, beans and fruits. Promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and facilitate defecation. At the same time, try to avoid spicy and fried food.
2. Exercise is an effective way to improve constipation. You can try aerobic exercise, such as walking and jogging, to promote defecation.
3. Develop the habit of regular defecation: After many people change their environment, their defecation habits will be affected, such as no fixed defecation time and different defecation times. After the body adapts to the new environment or recovers its living habits, it will gradually become regular, and the defecation situation will also recover.
