The stool starts to become dry and then becomes normal

It is normal for the stool to become dry at the beginning. This situation is mainly caused by drinking less water. At the same time, due to lack of sleep and eating a lot of chili and greasy food, gastrointestinal discomfort occurs, causing the stool in the body to become dry. The dryness begins because the water there is absorbed by the intestines many times. If similar phenomena occur, patients need to adjust their diet and sleep in order to recover.

Dangers of dry stool

1. Affects mood and spirit, fear of defecation Defecation can be said to be the most common physiological activity, but some patients feel very uncomfortable because of the pain of defecation, which leads to uncomfortable defecation and fear of defecation. This has a great impact on the patient's emotions. Some patients may even suspect that they have a certain disease and be in a bad mood, which will further reduce their quality of life.

2. Cause various anorectal diseases. Due to delayed defecation, the defecation reflex conditions and defecation habits will be disrupted, and the urge to defecate will be greatly reduced. In this way, feces cannot be discharged from the body in time, and toxins will accumulate in the body. For this reason, it is easy to cause symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and even constipation. Poor toxin excretion will also affect the patient's skin and endanger women's beauty and health.

3. Increased risk of colorectal cancer. Dry stools are caused by stools staying in the intestines for too long. The carcinogens in the stools have been in contact with the intestines for a long time, which greatly increases the risk of colorectal cancer.

4. Inharmonious sexual life. Intestinal problems cause dry stools and often difficulty in defecation. Excessive contraction of the anus and spasmodic contraction of the pelvic floor can lead to decreased libido and lack of climax during sexual life.

5. Constipation caused by dry stools can cause discomfort during defecation, because dry stools can lead to difficulty in defecation, and over time can also cause symptoms such as anal swelling and pain and anal fissure bleeding.

Prevention of dry stool

1. Drink a glass of warm boiled water after getting up every morning, or add a small amount of salt to boiled water with a slightly salty taste, which can increase the moisture in the digestive tract and facilitate defecation. 2. Eat more fruits and vegetables and less spicy and greasy food. Eat more fiber-containing vegetables (leek, celery, spinach, etc.) and fresh fruits, drink water or honey water in moderation, eat dates, sesame seeds and walnuts, etc., which also have the effect of moistening the lungs and promoting bowel movements.

3. Don’t stand or sit for long periods of time. Move around every hour. Persistent physical exercise can improve gastrointestinal motility and increase the strength of the abdominal and perineal muscles, which is helpful in maintaining smooth bowel movements. 4. For those with severe constipation, you can take appropriate amounts of laxatives such as honey, rhubarb, or use enema, glycerin enema, etc.

5. Develop the habit of eating on time, avoid overeating, eat more whole grains, and less refined rice.
