Going to the toilet for more than 15 minutes “damages the intestines.” Squatting on the toilet and sliding the phone for a long time can cause constipation!

Don’t delay your bowel movement for 10-15 minutes!
Gregory Thorkelson, a psychiatrist from the Department of Gastroenterology, Liver and Nutrition of the University of Pittsburgh, pointed out that the time of bowel movements should not be delayed. Usually, there is an intention to rush to the bowel. Normally, it will be resolved in 10-15 minutes because the intestines shrink regularly and the stool is slowly pushed to the anus. Mouth, the process of peristalsis makes you feel like bowels.

If it does not come out in time, the intestines will peristalize again, retracting the stool into the intestine. At this time, the large intestine continues to absorb the water in the stool, making the stool harder, which may cause constipation, and you will have to work harder the next time you defecate.

Going to the bathroom to read, using mobile phones to damage the intestines
Going to the bathroom to read a book or use your mobile phone will make you feel relieved, and it will be more difficult to defecate next time. Dr. Zheng Naiyuan, the director of the Lian’an Clinic, also pointed out that this kind of living habit prolongs the time of sitting on the toilet, and unsanitary also affects the bowel movement, leading to a vicious circle of constipation and prolonged use of the toilet.

In addition, you have to squat in the toilet if you have no intention of defecation. At this time, it takes a lot of effort to push the stool in the intestines.

In mainland China, a teenager slipped his mobile phone for half an hour when he went to the toilet, because it took too long to defecate, exerted too much force, and increased intra-abdominal pressure, directly pushing the rectum out, causing the so-called “rectal prolapse”, commonly known as “prolapse.” .

Gut microbes are closely related to constipation

Nutritionist Huang Zhixin also pointed out that intestinal bacteria are related to constipation. People with constipation usually, The diversity of intestinal flora is low.

If it takes more than 15 minutes to go to the toilet every time, it may be a warning sign, or the pressure may slow down the intestinal motility. In addition to eating more high-fiber foods, work rest and drinking water are indispensable. Dr. Gregory Thorkelson also reminded that you can try to drink a cup of coffee to help defecation, because coffee can help the intestinal muscles contract and achieve a laxative effect, especially in the morning drinking effect is better.
