We have to eat every day to provide nutrition and energy to the body, but not all what we eat can be absorbed and digested, and some of it will become stool and eventually be excreted. But many people in life are very puzzled. They haven't had a bowel movement for several days, or even have no intention of having a bowel movement. Where did the feces in the body go? Is it reabsorbed by the body? How can we get rid of the poop that is in the body? Don't feel embarrassed. Your bowel movement can reflect your health. Let's take a look together.
The absorption and digestion of food is mainly in the small intestine. After passing through the small intestine, the remaining unabsorbable substances will enter the large intestine. After the water is absorbed, the stool will follow the intestinal peristalsis and reach a certain level. After the measurement, people will have stool.
Generally speaking, it is normal to have a bowel movement once a day or two. However, if you do not have a bowel movement for ten days in the middle of the night, and you have no bowel movement, it is abnormal. The stool that is not discharged is actually in the large intestine all the time, and the water is continuously absorbed. The stool will become harder and harder, and it will be more difficult to defecate. Over time, it may also cause a series of health problems.
And the reason why this happens is mostly in my own body. Nowadays, the food is becoming more and more diverse, but many people have poor eating habits. For example, I often eat fine foods and don't like to eat coarse grains. They are digested quickly, and there is not much residue left at all. When they accumulate to a certain level, they will feel the bowel movement, and they may not defecate for several days.
For example, always eat too greasy, high-fat, spicy and irritating food, which will slow down the speed of intestinal peristalsis, defecation will be irregular, and may not defecate for several days. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, their ability to absorb and digest is declining. If eating habits are not good, they are more likely to be constipated.
If the diet is normal and reasonable, then it is necessary to consider pathological factors, or problems with intestinal health, imbalance of the flora or bacterial infection, the intestinal can not The normal absorption and digestion of food will affect the normal defecation. It may also be that some kind of disease has appeared in the intestinal tract, which narrows the intestinal cavity and makes it difficult to defecate.
If this situation continues, the substances in the stool are repeatedly absorbed, which may bring greater hidden dangers, more serious damage to the intestines, and possibly dizziness, fatigue and other discomforts. Conducive to daily life and work. Here are a few coups to share, you might as well follow them, or it can effectively help you expel the stools that depend on your body in time and relax.

For defecation; it is best to ensure a daily drinking volume of about 1700 ml, small amounts of drinking multiple times, increase the water in the stool, but also promote defecation.
Defecation habits should also be good, do not hold back when you have a bowel movement, and defecate in time. It is recommended that you drink a cup of warm water every morning after you wake up to develop the habit of defecation in the morning. Even if you don’t have a bowel movement, it is best to squat on time to promote the bowel movement. Try not to play with your mobile phone during defecation to avoid prolonging the time.
If you have severe constipation, and the adjustment of your lifestyle is still useless, go and see it in time, take a more effective method under the advice of professionals, and don’t procrastinate.
In general, I did not defecate for a few days, and there was no urge to defecate. It may be related to the above reasons. There are physiological and pathological reasons, and the impact can be small or large. Stool does not disappear out of thin air, but stays in the intestines all the time. If you insist on doing the above things, your bowel movement may gradually return to normal.
