Nowadays, due to the decrease in exercise and the increase in work pressure among female white-collar workers, many young women are experiencing constipation and physical strengthening. However, many people believe that constipation is a matter for which there is no need to make a fuss. Unexpectedly, the harm that constipation brings to women cannot be underestimated. Today, let's talk together. What kind of physical health is constipation harmful to women?
Although many people have constipation, if women have long-term constipation, it cannot be ignored. Constipation in women affects beauty. Constipation can increase toxins in women's bodies, leading to metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, and imbalance in trace elements, resulting in pigmentation, itching, dull complexion, dry hair, and the generation of chloasma, acne, and acne.
In addition, constipation can also cause poor appetite, anemia, malnutrition, and other conditions. Frequent and forceful defecation can also promote the formation of hemorrhoids. For women, due to prolonged forced defecation, rectal fatigue, tight anal contraction, and spasms at the bottom of the pelvic cavity can result in vaginal relaxation or decreased libido, and a lack of orgasm in couples' lives.
Women are more likely to suffer from constipation than men due to low activity, refined diet, and their own physiological characteristics. There are three reasons why women suffer from constipation more than men:
"Anatomical differences in the physiological structure of women - The female uterus compresses the rectum in the pelvic cavity, increasing the curvature of the rectum, and causing defecation to pass more slowly than in men, resulting in constipation.".
"During pregnancy, the impact of the fetus - during pregnancy, women's enlarged fetus compresses the rectum, causing obstacles to the venous flow through the rectum and anus, and relaxation of pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy, which can also easily cause constipation and hemorrhoids.".
The characteristics of female reproductive organs - the front of the female anus is the vagina, with weak muscles nearby. In addition, the specificity of women's physiological reasons can also easily cause constipation.
Experts suggest that women should treat constipation correctly and adopt the correct treatment methods. After constipation occurs, do not blindly use laxatives to solve it. Although they can have the effect of taking and expelling immediately, these drugs can also create dependency, and once stopped, constipation begins again.
If women encounter constipation, they use laxatives, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction over time, leading to the occurrence of chronic gastroenteritis. In addition, long-term diarrhea can also lead to anal canal stenosis and the formation of refractory constipation dependent on laxatives, which inevitably leads to hemorrhoids and anal fissure.
To avoid constipation, it is recommended that female compatriots maintain a regular diet and schedule in their daily lives. Maintain a certain amount of exercise every week, reduce fat intake in your diet, and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and other foods that contain more crude fiber. Before going to bed every night, it is best to rub your abdomen for 10-15 minutes to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. In addition, drinking ancient fragrant herbal tea is a good method. Three cups of tea per day can effectively restore the health of the intestinal environment, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help defecate.
