Holding in stool can cause harm to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, colon cancer, constipation, etc. Long-term holding in stool will lead to loss of water in the stool, resulting in dry stool. During defecation, it will increase abdominal pressure, leading to the emergence of some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Moreover, feces staying in the intestine for a long time is prone to breeding bacteria.
1. Impact on intestinal health. If you always hold in stool, it may damage intestinal health, which may increase the possibility of intestinal cancer. Because human feces is a manifestation of metabolic waste from the body, besides metabolic waste from food, there are also certain toxins.
2. Difficulty in defecation can lead to syncope. In addition to pathological reasons, most people do not intentionally hold in stool. Daren Ding, a clinical medicine master, said: "Feces accumulated in the intestine for too long can indeed cause some problems. Feces accumulated in the intestine will become harder and drier as water is continuously absorbed, leading to difficulty in defecation, which is very dangerous for patients with cardiovascular diseases because suddenly increased abdominal pressure and sympathetic nerve excitement may lead to Adams-Stokes syndrome, that is, cardiogenic syncope."
3. Easy to cause constipation. Normal people defecate 1 to 2 times a day, a few people once every 2 days, and most people defecate once a day. The defecation is smooth and regular, shaped like a banana. When the stool cannot be smoothly and regularly excreted from the body, it will form "constipation."
