Generally, the normal defecation time is about 5- 10 minutes, but some people are used to taking newspapers and mobile phones. Pass the time when you go to the toilet, and the time passes unconsciously. Don't underestimate the long-term squatting in the toilet. Once a habit is formed, it will bring many health hazards to the body.

Squatting in the toilet for a long time will have these hazards:

1. Constipation

Some people must hold a mobile phone when going to the toilet, which leads to a problem that can be solved in only 5 minutes, and they can't get rid of it for 40 minutes. Therefore, playing mobile phone in the toilet is not an artifact, but an artifact.

Going to the toilet to play with your mobile phone and see your circle of friends, the direct influence of brushing Weibo will lead to your inability to concentrate and distraction, but defecation is not a simple matter. Intestines are more curved, and stools generally accumulate above the right angle of anus and intestine. When people have a feeling of defecation, the intestine is straight at right angles, the intestinal sphincter peristalsis and contraction, the abdominal muscles increase abdominal pressure, and the anal sphincter dilatation and other synergistic effects can discharge feces.

When distracted, defecation becomes very difficult, resulting in slow defecation or no defecation. But the heart is precious. Once you miss it, you don't know when you will come next time. This inhibition of defecation leads to the disappearance of conditioned reflex, which will artificially cause long-term constipation.

2. Insufficient blood supply to the head and lower limbs

Squatting in the toilet for a long time, blood flows downwards, which easily leads to insufficient blood supply to the head and lower limbs. Normal people will suddenly feel dizzy and bloated after squatting for a long time. Blood circulation is blocked, which will make the cells lack oxygen for a long time, and the blood will return, leading to some numbness of the nerves. For example, many people will feel numb in their legs.

3. Induce hemorrhoids

Studies have shown that squatting for too long can lead to varicose veins and congestion, thus inducing hemorrhoids. In addition, if the anus is congested, it is easy to mislead the nervous system, give the central nervous system the wrong defecation instruction, and make the anus feel full for a long time. Too long defecation time is also a factor that induces diseases such as rectal mucosa shedding.

4. Toxic gas "invasion"

Toilets are full of toxic barriers, so you should try to minimize contact with toxic substances. Sitting in the toilet will form a closed space between the body and toxic substances. After a long time, poisonous gas will enter the body, which will seriously cause some inflammation, such as chronic vaginitis, anal inflammation and even gynecological tumors such as cervical cancer. Therefore, it is generally recommended to pursue "short, flat and fast" defecation.
