When "not in March or April, not in May or June" suddenly becomes a girl's QQ signature, it shows that the campaign has sounded the horn. Although there may be such a weight-loss exercise every year, girls are still full of ideas in the face of weight loss. The weight-loss products on the market are also keeping up with the trend and caring services, and various weight-loss teas and drugs are emerging one after another. It is worth reminding that it is understandable for girls to lose weight, but if they use slimming tea for a long time, the intestines may become fragile and even get black colon, which may lead to colon cancer in severe cases.

Case: Weight loss leads to melanosis coli.

Xiaoli has been taking slimming products because she is not satisfied with her figure. At first, she had diarrhea, but she didn't care when she thought that most weight-loss products were like this. After taking it for several months, she lost weight and the symptoms of diarrhea gradually disappeared, so she began to take it every day. In order to better achieve the effect of weight loss, Xiaoli once again chose a very good weight loss and detoxification product.

However, after eating slimming and detoxicating products for half a year, a strange phenomenon appeared: whenever defecation is not smooth, take a few slimming pills to relieve it. But later, if you don't take diet pills, it will be difficult to defecate, so the dose is also increasing. Until the end, Xiaoli had to increase the dosage of detoxification and weight loss products, from the initial double to four or five times now. What bothers her most is that she gradually feels that even if the dose is increased, the difficulty in defecation is frequent and cannot be alleviated.

After examination by hospital doctors, it was found that Xiaoli not only had difficulty in defecation, but also found that she had melanosis coli through colonoscopy.

Interpretation: Why is it possible to lose weight and get melanosis coli?

Melanosis coli has no specific symptoms, mainly manifested as constipation and difficulty in defecation. A few patients also have dull pain in the lower abdomen and loss of appetite. It is reported that the number of patients with melanosis coli has increased dramatically in the past two years. The original patients were basically elderly people, and now the vast majority of patients are young people, especially female patients around the age of 30. And these patients have one thing in common: long-term use of weight loss products.

Why does the use of slimming and detoxifying products lead to melanosis coli? It has been reported that most detoxification products on the market mainly contain anthraquinones, such as rhubarb, senna, cassia seed, Polygonum cuspidatum and so on.

The principle of reducing weight and detoxifying is to promote colon peristalsis through the chemical * * * produced by anthraquinone compounds, thus causing an increase in defecation and even diarrhea. If the human body uses this kind of products for a long time, it means that the probability of diarrhea increases, and electrolytes, moisture and nutrients are also discharged together with wastes such as feces. The longer the duration, the more "soil erosion" will be caused, and at the same time, the intestinal peristalsis function will be weakened, which will damage the intestinal mucosal function and destroy the intestinal ecological environment.
