I can't poop when I'm sitting down

Being unable to poop while sitting may be due to intestinal disease or constipation. Timely and targeted treatment based on the cause can reduce the harm to the body.

1. Intestinal lesions: Being unable to defecate while sitting may be due to chronic enteritis, which generally causes the intestinal mucosa to be in a state of congestion, which can cause slow intestinal peristalsis and may cause difficulty in defecation. It may be due to low immunity and infection with pathogenic microorganisms. It is necessary to promptly treat it with anti-inflammatory drugs. If necessary, probiotics should be added to promote the excretion of stool.

2. Constipation: Being unable to defecate while sitting may be due to constipation, which is mostly related to frequently eating spicy or greasy food. At the same time, it is not ruled out that long-term sitting without exercise causes slow intestinal peristalsis, which can cause dry stools, and generally cause obstructed and unclean bowel movements during defecation. Constipation needs to be treated with laxatives, and enema can also be used externally. Eating more crude fiber foods will help improve symptoms.

During the period when you can't defecate, you need to control your diet and avoid eating snacks frequently, such as puffed foods.
