Be regular
Perhaps many people have told you not to squat too long in the pit, hemorrhoids may grow.
Then the question arises: How long is it better to poop each time? How long has it been?
Today, Dr. Clove invited Dr. Huang Xian from the Digestive Department to talk about this issue.
How long is it better to poop each time?
It is usually suggested that the poop time should be within 3-5 minutes each time. If it is more than 5 minutes, the poop does not mean to come out. Be decisive, get up angrily and abandon the toilet.
Of course, I didn’t give up completely. I took a rest or drank some water and ate something. When I felt comfortable again, I went to the toilet and continued my efforts.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
However, this time is only a general suggestion. Too much attention to time is not good for health.
Poop, the key is to be regular.
How is regular poop?
When it comes to laws, it is nothing more than the number and appearance of poop.
For most people, it is normal to defecate 3 ~ 21 times a week. Pool is dark yellow, brown or cyan, and it is normal not to see what mucus, pus and blood, etc.
However, what we are talking about here is the general situation. Normal poop is not only related to the type, state and quantity of food eaten, but also related to the mental, psychological and health state of the body.
Therefore, even if the poop does not fully meet the above conditions, it may still be in a normal state.
For example, after a big meal, the number of defecations is more than usual, and the amount of defecation each time is also larger, which is normal.
For example, because of hot weather, busy work, a lot of sweating and insufficient water supplement, it is normal to relieve stool once every two days, and stool induration.
Another example is that before the college entrance examination or interview, the mental pressure is great, the number of poop is more than usual, and the amount of poop each time is small and rotten, which is also normal.
How to have regular poop?
Normal regular poop is mainly related to diet, psychology, environment and habits.
1. Diet: Ensure the proportion of dietary fiber
It is best to ensure a certain proportion of dietary fiber in food to ensure stool volume, bulkiness, water content and stimulation to intestinal wall.
When it comes to eating what specifically, in fact everyone may understand it, but it just can’t be done…
Among them, vegetables are the best, followed by fruits, nuts, onions, radishes, garlic sprouts, sweet potatoes, etc. are also recommended.
At the same time, it is also possible to limit the proportion of fat and protein to avoid excessive stool stickiness and excessive intestinal gas production.
Finally, pay attention to drinking more water, mainly because you feel comfortable and not thirsty. If you have to recommend a drinking amount, 1500 ml ~ 1700 ml per day is more appropriate.
2. Psychologically relax and pay attention to [governing by doing nothing]
Don’t pay too much attention to the amount and time of poop.
Professionally speaking, excessive attention will lead to sympathetic nerve excitation, inhibit stool impulse, and then lead to constipation. When you are excited, there is no way to poop smoothly. For example, if you quarrel with others, poop may not be willing to come out.
Sometimes it’s really not what you want, but the more you want it, the less you can get it.
Don’t take poop too seriously, it would be nice [to be happy with the situation].
3. Environment: A relaxing environment is a good environment.
The environment has different impacts on different people.
Some people really have to defecate in specific places, especially some children and adolescents.
Some people can only poop in their own toilets.
Some people have special requirements for smell.
Others have special requirements for toilet bowls.
In fact, these are all normal. Only when you relax can you have the urge to defecate more easily.
4. Habit: Poop also pays attention to ritual feeling,
The habit of defecation mainly refers to the time of defecation and some specific behaviors before and after defecation, just like a ceremony.
Some people are used to defecating after waking up in the morning. Some people are used to defecating before going to bed. Some people are used to defecating after eating. Some people need to drink water to defecate. Some people have to eat fruit before defecating. Others are used to taking off their clothes before defecating.
As long as it is not troublesome or interfering with others, there is nothing wrong with any habit or sense of ceremony.
To have normal poop, we need to understand it in all aspects.
If you know it enough, then try to satisfy it! For most people, it is not very difficult to have normal regular poop through diet improvement, psychological adjustment, environmental adjustment and defecation habits.
