Under normal circumstances / How long can a person hold it in?

Generally speaking, it is not a big problem to endure it for three or five days.

But there are some people who can really hold it in. For example, there was a drug trafficker in the UK who wanted to avoid detection and was unwilling to "unload" even though he was beaten to death during his detention. Because as long as the evidence is not pulled out, no one can punish him.

In addition to suppressing all his shit thoughts, he also greatly restricted his food intake. In order to accomplish this feat, he even issued a declaration to the police that I would rather "die" than "shit".

The police, who couldn't bear it, also launched a "PooWatch" operation on Twitter, starting a long tug of war.

He gritted his teeth and held on for a full 47 days, breaking all previous records of drug dealers holding in their feces (23 days). Due to legal regulations and the suspect's health, the police could only release him so that he could seek medical treatment.

So the question is, where does the held-in poop go?

"How is daddy formed?

After 4-6 hours of digestion in the stomach, food turns into chyme and enters the small intestine.

After further absorption, residues with little nutrition are left. The water, The electrolytes are absorbed by the colon. The remaining ones are "kneaded" into cakes and sent to the rectum for storage.

When the cake accumulates in the rectum to a certain warning level, the excretion signal will be reported to the brain, triggering the defecation function. Excreted.

But the reality is often not satisfactory (can’t find the toilet, are in a meeting...), the brain will ask the rectum to temporarily increase its reserve capacity (build a warehouse first) , and at the same time, let The sphincter outside the anus is tightened hard (the door is locked).

However, it is not a problem to hold it back. When the pancake exceeds the reserve capacity of the rectum, it cannot be discharged. (the warehouse is full) , the rectum. It will start reverse peristalsis and send the poop to the previous station, allowing the sigmoid colon to help store it. But sometimes when we go to the toilet after enduring it, we often find

"no feeling at all"

This is because in the colon. , the moisture in the poop will be reabsorbed (pay the rent), and the poop will become dry and hard, so it will be impossible to pull it out...

Therefore, do not think that the poop that has been held in, It's just that you can't pull it out for a while, and you may become constipated if you hold it in.

If you are lucky, you may get " hemorrhoids", but if you are not lucky, you may develop intestinal wall necrosis, perforation, and intestinal cancer Wait for the disease.

If you have cardiovascular problems, when you strain to defecate, the blood vessels throughout the body will also be strained, which will also increase the risk of sudden death!

Of course, there are always exceptions. "When it rushes forward in a "rampage", it will not only directly open up the various checkpoints in the intestines, making each part work hard to peristaltic, and transport the cake out, but also rely on its thin form to catch the rectum by surprise, making it easy for it to "fall away".

When the situation becomes unstoppable, Xiaofan sincerely recommends that everyone develop the habit of regular bowel movements. If you really have difficulty, you can also refer to our previous "Pooping Handbook"
