What Is a Fecal Impaction?

Feces, commonly known as "feces", "feces", "feces", and "poop", are large intestinal relics of humans or animals. A quarter of the stool is water, and the rest is mostly protein, minerals, fat, undigested dietary fiber, dehydrated digestive juice residue, cells and dead bacteria from the intestine, and vitamin K. Vitamin B. For farmers, manure can be used as an organic fertilizer for better crops.

Food is not absorbed

Food is digested in the stomach and intestines, mainly various

The most effective way to know the condition of the intestines that is difficult to see directly is to observe the discharged stool. Stool is like a mirror, it can reflect the environment of the intestines, so as to understand our health.

Without a detailed intestinal examination in a hospital, the average person would not be able to observe the condition of the intestine at all in daily life. Because of this, I hope everyone pays more attention to their bowel movements. The stool was "a letter from the bowel." Based on the color, shape, and taste of stool, you can understand the condition in your body. Therefore, if you take a good look at the information contained in your stool, you will be able to understand your physical health.

Physical health is closely related to intestinal health, and intestinal health is closely related to the condition of stool. On the one hand, by observing the shape, color, and smell of the stool, you can determine whether the intestine is healthy. If the stool is abnormal, we must pay great attention to it, and do good intestinal recuperation to prevent disease. On the other hand, by observing the detailed changes in stool, we can also judge how effective our intestinal conditioning is.

A. determination from the stool shape health 1. a banana: if the daily stool discharge such, a description of your gut health.
2. block: This shows the moisture content of small stool, defecation difficult. Frequent bowel movements usually indicate pathological changes in the intestine, such as various inflammations and sometimes even cancer.
3. pulpy: This means that the intestines have been flooded with stool, bowel movement has been greatly hindered, long-term there is likely to be malnourished, leading to a variety of diseases.
4. Water-like: This is a very big danger signal, it is usually a sign of some malignant disease, bowel movements almost stagnant, food and water are excreted intact.
5. stiff shape: that the body lack of water, less comfortable bowel movement, stool so easily become a source of various diseases.
6. half chain: stool water content, it can not fully explain the intestinal absorption of moisture, not very good absorption of nutrients.

B. Judging health by stool color and material in stool 1. If stool color is normal, it is yellow, which is a manifestation of gastrointestinal health.
2. stool was black or brown, this is a warning, but need not be frightened to go to the hospital, just pay attention to a healthy diet, can appear yellow. But if the discharged stool is darker than usual, or appears purple, special care must be taken. This may be the stomach or

1. Abuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. People often use antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs when they have a cold, cough, or diarrhea. These drugs, while killing the bacteria, will also kill the probiotics in the intestine, making the intestinal flora imbalance (the proportion of probiotics is getting less and less) and affecting the intestinal function.

2. Intestinal lavage is improper, which can hurt the intestines and destroy them. Clinical findings show that laxative products containing rhubarb, cassia seeds, senna leaves, and aloe vera can cause electrolyte disorders, hypokalemia, vitamin deficiency, intestinal inflammation, and severely induce precancerous lesions such as colonic melanosis and Neurogenic pseudoobstruction.

3. Improper weight reduction and intestinal injury. Many women often drink various bowel-clearing teas in order to lose weight, but due to the product's mechanism of action is "unhealthy" (such as many slimming teas contain laxative ingredients, through strong stimulation of intestinal peristalsis, to achieve "clear intestinal detoxification" Purpose), long-term use will lead to weakened intestinal peristalsis and defecation dysfunction, so that once disabled, defecation cannot be formed, forming a vicious cycle.

4. Food contamination. Food contamination in production (such as water pollution, toxic soil, drug abuse in breeding and aquaculture) and production (such as cooking with trench oil) are directly endangering intestinal health.

5. Bad eating habits. Overeating, non-timed eating, high fat and high fever, frying and grilling, unclean diet, and frequent social drinking will all increase the burden on the intestines and directly harm the intestinal health.

6. Personal hygiene and environmental hygiene. There are various pathogenic bacteria and viruses in the environment. Due to inattention to diet and personal hygiene, it is easy to enter the intestine and affect the intestine and human health.

7. Work stress and mental regulation. Excessive work or study stress, emotional tension, anxiety, depression, irritability, easily lead to autonomic dysfunction, slow down gastrointestinal motility, reduce digestive juice secretion, and appear indigestion symptoms such as decreased appetite.

8. Bad habits. Frequent overtime, staying up late, irregular work and rest, prone to intestinal dysfunction and intestinal micro-ecological environment imbalance, resulting in intestinal aging and disease.

9. Other reasons. Such as smoking, drinking, lack of exercise can affect gut health. ^[3]

I often hear about constipation, constipation,

Causes of stool bleeding

Anal disease is the most common cause of stool bleeding. Hemorrhoids and anal fissure-induced stool bleeding are bleeding from the stool, severe spray-like bleeding, bright red blood, anal itching, blood and feces immiscibility, stool bleeding caused by anal fissures are often accompanied by anal pain after defecation.

Hemorrhoid hemorrhages are often caused by hard defecation, small bumps protruding from the inside of the anus, and drip or spray-shaped blood discharged. The amount of bleeding can be large or small, and internal hemorrhoids often bleed.

Colon diseases, the colon is the same as the rectum, but also polyps and cancer can occur, ulcerative colitis, dysentery and other diseases can also cause stool bleeding, stool bleeding caused by such colitis is mostly mixed with mucus or purulent stool, Accompanied by abdominal pain, fever, and exacerbation.

In addition, some relatively rare diseases, such as typhoid fever, intestinal tuberculosis, intussusception, etc., will also have stool bleeding

There is no important relationship between the formation of feces and food. There is no significant difference in the feces of fasted and normally fed animals, except that the amount of feces is reduced. Feces are all the same: they contain indigestible cellulose in food,

1. What factors can affect the defecation reflex:

There are many factors that affect the defecation reflection, mainly in the following aspects:

(1) The amount of feces entering the rectum is too small, and the pressure on the rectal wall is small, so that the receptors in the rectal wall do not produce impulse, so there is no defecation reflection. This situation is more common in those who eat too little and eat too finely.

(2) The rectum loses its normal sensitivity to pressure stimulation in the intestinal lumen and cannot produce impulses. This situation occurs in people who have not had a bowel movement for a long time, often have an enema or laxative abuse.

(3) Nerve or spinal cord damage, such as multiple radiculitis, paraplegia, etc., impairs the nerves that conduct impulses and cannot produce defecation reflexes.

2. What are the factors that affect the defecation process:

Although there are many factors that affect the defecation process, there are only two factors that can be summarized. The first is the factor that affects the intention to produce, and the other is the factor that affects rectal emptying. Introduce, no longer repeat, the factors that affect rectal emptying are as follows:

(1) Inhibition of the will by the cerebral cortex, such as work stress, travel, changes in lifestyle, emotional depression, and overwork can all inhibit infestation, and local rectal lesions such as hemorrhoids,

What diseases can different traits reflect:

Understanding the frequency and time of stool, the amount, color, quality, smell, feeling of stool and accompanying symptoms is important for the diagnosis of digestive diseases.

1, constipation, accompanied by high fever and irritability, as intestinal fever syndrome;

2. Those with pale faces and slow pulses are cold and intestinal;

3, elderly constipation, pulse count, belong to spleen yin deficiency;

4. Stool is drained, and those with less bloating are spleen-yang deficiency;

5. Abdominal pain

Feces without supplementary food

At this stage, breast-fed babies have yellow or golden brown stools, uniform consistency like paste or paste, occasionally thin and slightly green, and have a sour taste but not odor. They defecate two to four times a day. If there is only one or two bowel movements per day and it suddenly increases to 5 to 6 bowel movements, you should observe whether you are sick. If you usually have a lot of bowel movements, but your baby is in good condition and you have not lost weight, you cannot be considered sick.

When stool diarrhea

When diarrhea occurs in breast-fed babies, the time for each feeding can be shortened and the child can eat the first half of milk. Because the first half of breast milk contains more protein, it is easier to digest and nutritious, while the second half has more fat, which is not easy to digest. If necessary, the mother can drink half a hour to an hour before breastfeeding, drink a large glass of light salt water, dilute the milk, and then breastfeed the child.

During diarrhea, you can take some beneficial bacteria, which are used to regulate the gastrointestinal system. Adjust the diarrhea to not thin and constipation to dry.

When stool and constipation are abnormal

In general, the number of bowel movements varies depending on the baby's constitution; for constipation, a strict definition is that the stool is 2 times a week, and the stool characteristics are dry and hard pills. Regarding the abnormal stool, it is mainly related to the color and characteristics of the baby's stool. Common stools containing milk flaps, foam, and sour smell are mostly caused by poor digestion. When most babies don't digest the macromolecular milk protein in regular formula, the stool manifests as constipation, more flaps in the stool, and stool odor, etc. It is common to have indigestion with high content of lactose in the formula. Foamy stools, sour stools, and flatulence, etc .; if palm oil in formula milk is not digested well, it is easy to cause dry stools and difficult defecation. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, parents need to judge or consult their doctors as to whether the milk powder needs to be replaced with a digestible formula. When choosing easy-to-digest formula, you should start with three indicators: protein type, lactose content, and whether or not palm oil is added. There are a few easily digestible formulas on the market. Take Abbott's friendly digestible formula as an example: its protein content is 100% partially hydrolyzed whey protein, lactose content is less than 2g / L, and no palm oil is added. When the child has constipation and abnormal stool caused by the above-mentioned poor digestion, replacing this part of the partially hydrolyzed digestible formula is usually the most direct and effective solution ^[4] .
