Medical Video: 16 warning signs of cancer you should not ignore !
When you have difficulty defecating, your stomach will feel very painful and uncomfortable. Constipation, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, is more often experienced by women than men. In addition to constipation, various difficult causes you might have experienced this chapter without ever being realized.
A variety of causes of surprising BAB difficulties
The following are various causes of difficult BAB that you might not expect plus how to overcome them, namely:
1. On vacation
Yes! Traveling far away for a holiday could be the cause of your recent defecation. During the trip, it is very likely that you will only sit for hours, whether in land, sea or air transportation. As a result, you become less active and lack attention to food. For example, eating less fibrous foods and rarely drinking water, said Jordan Karlitz, M.D., a gastroenterologist who is also a member of the American College of Gastroenterology.
In addition, you may also tend to overlook the desire to go out for the sake of urinating to get to your destination faster. Indirectly, all of this causes the intestine to become blocked so that the balance of the good microbes becomes disturbed.
The solution, try to keep getting used to eating like you normally do when you're not on vacation. Try to keep eating high-fiber foods and drink enough water.
2. Stop exercise
If you have been diligent about exercise but suddenly decide to stop, this can cause constipation and difficult bowel movements, you know!
Still according to Karlitz, changing routine habits that have been applied daily over a long period of time can affect various systems in the body including the digestive system.
So, the only solution to deal with this problem is to keep exercising regularly. Don't suddenly stop it. If you want to take a break, reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of your exercise gradually so you don't have a problem when defecating.
3. Too busy
The density of daily activities sometimes makes you often ignore the "call of nature", both urinating and defecating. In fact, holding back the urge to urinate and defecate can actually worsen your health.
Defending the bowel makes you risk getting severe constipation. The reason is, the intestine will be increasingly filled with feces which should be ready to be released but instead delayed. In the end the stool will harden and dry so it is very difficult to remove.
Plus if you are stressed or sleep deprived due to being too busy, this will have a negative impact on the digestive system resulting in difficult bowel movements.
4. Pregnant
Hormonal changes and eating patterns during pregnancy coupled with the effects of stress on the enteric nervous system on digestion make many women experience constipation since the beginning of pregnancy.
If you have this you need to ask yourself, about what makes constipation often appear? Is it because of food or the influence of certain drugs that are being consumed?
If because of food then you need to reduce it, and if because of medication then you should consult your doctor about your complaints about difficulty in defecating.
5. Experiencing pelvic floor dyssynergia
In order to defecate, the abdominal and pelvic muscles need to tighten and contract (which we are familiar with signed) However, people who have disorders of pelvic floor dyssynergia have difficulty coordinating between the nerves of the abdominal muscles and pelvic muscles, so they will find it difficult to cope. This often makes it difficult for them to defecate.
To overcome this, the doctor will perform a test called anorectal manometry to see how the intestine works before determining other treatments.
