Stool retention has a great impact on a person. In many cases, stool retention can affect human health, so we must find a way to eliminate stool retention.

The feeling of being unable to expel old stool is very uncomfortable, and in many cases, old stool can also cause some diseases in the human body. So, let’s talk about the common symptoms of stool retention.

Stool retention is old stool that has been stagnant and accumulated in the intestines for a long time. Generally, the feces that remain in the intestine for 3 to 5 days without defecation is called stool retention. Old stool is often very stubborn and it is not so easy to expel it. For example, when a bag-like bulge occurs in a certain part of the intestinal wall and forms an intestinal diverticulum, the intestinal contents will accumulate in the diverticulum, stagnate for a long time and are not discharged. Intestinal diverticula are more common in wealthy people because their diet is too refined and they do not consume enough dietary fiber. The colon is the most common site for diverticula to occur.

Stool retention is the source of all toxins in the human intestine. "Not having a bowel movement for one day is better than smoking three packs of cigarettes." The stool in the intestines is like rotten meat, smelly and dirty. The large amount of toxins produced by the stool will be absorbed by the human body, which will reduce the body's immunity, induce the breeding of various diseases, and seriously endanger human health!

Stool retention can produce toxins, which are repeatedly absorbed by the intestines and reach various parts of the human body through blood circulation, causing women to have dull complexion, rough skin, dilated pores, acne, abdominal distension and pain, bad breath, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, obesity, irritability and other symptoms. Stool retention causes anorectal diseases. When constipation occurs, defecation is difficult and the stool is dry, which can directly cause or aggravate anorectal diseases. Such as proctitis, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, etc. Stool retention causes gastrointestinal nervous dysfunction. When constipation occurs, feces retention and absorption of harmful substances can cause gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, belching, bitter taste in the mouth, and frequent flatus.

Stool retention forms fecal ulcers. The harder fecal masses compress the intestinal cavity, causing it to narrow, and the surrounding structures of the pelvis hinder the expansion of the colon, causing the rectum or colon to be compressed and form fecal ulcers. In severe cases, intestinal perforation may occur. Stool retention can cause colon cancer. It may be because constipation makes it impossible to eliminate carcinogens in the intestines for a long time. According to data, about 10% of people with severe constipation suffer from colon cancer.
