Do you always feel that your bowel movements are not clean? Your body may be quietly "warning"!

Have you ever had this embarrassing moment: after working hard on the toilet for a long time, you feel that you have finished pooping, but when you get up, you feel that you have not finished pooping yet, and the urge to poop is still with you, so you have to sit back down again. What is going on? Is there something wrong with your body?

Why do I always feel like my bowel movement is not complete?

Under normal circumstances, the large intestine will push the stool little by little to the rectum. There are some special "alarms" ( receptors ) in the rectum. Once they sense the presence of stool, they will immediately send a signal to the brain that "I want to defecate." However, if the following situations occur, you may fall into the dilemma of "not being able to defecate completely."

1. Hemorrhoids

It easily rubs against the inner wall of the rectum, giving you the illusion that you haven't finished pooping yet. If you still force yourself to poop at this time, not only will you have to poop more frequently, but your fragile anus will also suffer "secondary damage", aggravating the symptoms of hemorrhoids.

2. When going to the toilet, they like to play with their mobile phones or read books, and they squat for a long time.

Some friends squat in the toilet for too long, and coupled with constant force, the pressure in the stomach will become very high, which may cause the rectal mucosa to relax or prolapse, stimulating the receptors in the intestinal wall. You will always feel like you want to defecate, and your anus will also feel heaviness and distension.

3. When you have diarrhea

The intestines are like entering a "combat state" and the feces-making function is fully activated. At this time, not only will there be a feeling of incomplete defecation, but the abdominal pain will also become more and more intense. In addition, the intestinal peristalsis of people with constipation is slower than that of normal people, and the feces stay in the intestines for too long, which can easily lead to intermittent and incomplete defecation.

4. Intestinal inflammation

When the colon and rectum are inflamed, the intestinal wall becomes particularly sensitive. Even if there is only a little bit of poop, the inflammatory factors stimulate the nerve cells in the intestinal wall, which can make you feel like "wanting to poop" frequently.

In addition, diseases such as prostate disease in men, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic congestion syndrome in women, as well as dangerous rectal polyps and tumors may also cause this condition.

If all the tests are fine, there is another possibility, which is anorectal neurosis. Simply put, when you are often suspicious, anxious, and mentally tense , the "general commander" of the brain is a little unbalanced, leading to autonomic dysfunction, one of the manifestations of which is that you always feel that your bowel movements are not clean.

How can you poop cleanly?

1. Focus on poop, don’t play with your phone

When you go to the toilet, put down your phone, feel the "every move" of your anus, and control the time of each bowel movement to 3-5 minutes.

2. Develop a regular bowel habit

Whether you have the urge to defecate or not, choose a fixed time every day to squat . Over time, your body will form a biological clock and you will want to defecate at the right time. 1-2 times a day, or once every 1-2 days, are considered normal.

3. Don’t push too hard when you poop

Applying too much force may aggravate the feeling of not being able to defecate completely. Just apply a little force, so that you can feel the chrysanthemum "blooming", but not too "unrestrained".

4. In terms of diet

Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber , and drink 1500-1700 ml of water every day , about 8 cups, which can help intestinal peristalsis and make bowel movements smoother.

5. For problems such as hemorrhoids and rectal mucosal relaxation, you can do anal lifting exercises every day

Regularly pull up and contract the anus, then relax, which counts as one time. Do each set of about 50 times, lasting 5-10 minutes . You can do it while waiting for a bus or taking the subway, which is very convenient. If the above methods do not work, or if you have symptoms such as incomplete defecation and anal swelling for a long time, you must see a doctor in time, and don't take medicine at will.

Never believe in those so-called "secret laxatives" and take indiscriminate bowel cleansing medicines, senna leaves, laxatives, etc., which can not only easily lead to dehydration, but long-term consumption will also cause the colon mucosa to turn black and lose its normal function.
