Miss Cui, 35 this year, often runs to the toilet not long after she finishes eating, and she runs several times, which makes her unbearable. Sudden stomach pain. Seeing that there was a supermarket next to her, Miss Cui ran in regardless of the parking lot, went straight to the toilet, and solved a major life event.

Similar to the case that Miss Cui was about to pull after eating, it is medically called irritable bowel syndrome. Although it is not a serious illness, it may cause a lot of trouble to life. And what we are talking about today is related to diarrhea.

When it comes to diarrhea, many people will have the image of going to the toilet several times a day and collapsing. Although diarrhea is only a symptom, it is a sign of unhealthy body, indicating that your gastrointestinal system may be in trouble.

Pulling after eating is a biological instinct, and it is also related to the type of food

People run to the toilet immediately after eating, just like wild animals will excrete immediately after eating. Everyone has this instinct, but if it is suppressed for a long time, the feeling will be dull.

The human body wants to defecate because of the urge to defecate, which is a feeling after the rectum is dilated. When there is something in the rectum or there is inflammation, there will be an urge to defecate; but this feeling is also a reflex of the human body. After a person eats, the rectal pressure will increase, because the rectum will reflex and contract, and there will be an urge to defecate.

Diarrhea immediately after eating is also related to the type of food eaten. For example, if you eat greasy food, you will run to the toilet immediately, and greasy food will make the gastrointestinal tract contract faster. People with irritable bowel syndrome will also run to the toilet immediately after eating. Most people can endure if they want to go to the toilet, but people with irritable bowel syndrome can’t bear it at all. For patients with serious conditions, if they want to go out in the afternoon, they don’t dare to eat at noon, because they are afraid of eating, and they can’t find the toilet when they have diarrhea.

Common causes and classifications of diarrhea

Diarrhea is very common, but diarrhea caused by different causes has different characteristics. The most common cause of acute attacks, the first is eating a bad stomach, and the second is gastroenteritis caused by viral or bacterial infection. According to the symptoms can be roughly divided into two types: one is acute diarrhea, one is chronic diarrhea.

The most common example of acute diarrhea in autumn and winter is caused by rotavirus. This type of diarrhea is usually watery diarrhea; chronic diarrhea is more common in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Because of emotional stress, gastrointestinal motility is too fast in many patients. Run to the toilet after eating.

It is difficult for ordinary people to determine the cause of diarrhea, except to go to the toilet immediately after eating certain foods, such as eating too spicy food, this is because some spicy elements have excretion effects, or some specific foods cannot be digested. If you have diarrhea, you can find the cause. Otherwise, an experienced doctor can accurately determine what is wrong.

Generally speaking, different types of bowel movements have different causes. The small intestine is the main part of the digestion and absorption of food. When the digestion is not good and cannot be processed, diarrhea will occur. Usually, diarrhea caused by poor digestion will result in a large amount of stool; diarrhea caused by the large intestine will result in less stool, especially Diarrhea caused by rectal inflammation, can run to the toilet several times a day, but only pull out a little feces and mucus each time.

Diarrhea is a signal of abnormality in the body, the way to deal with it is to add water

In addition to eating bad food, gastrointestinal inflammation will cause diarrhea, some intestinal diseases will also be manifested as diarrhea. If the polyp is close to the rectum and the rectum is always compressed, the patient will have more bowel movements.

Colorectal cancer sometimes has diarrhea. Usually, the bowel habits of these patients will change, and some people will not have diarrhea, but constipation.

If the diarrhea is caused by a bacterial infection, there may be blood in the stool or pus in the stool. In the past, when cholera was popular, many patients were incessantly straining, and some people died because of shock caused by excessive water loss.

Normal diarrhea usually clears up on its own, such as by eating spoiled food, within a few days. But if the diarrhea is caused by the immune system or some intestinal problems, it will continue to stretch, and even antidiarrheal medicines are useless. Clinically, I have encountered a case of diarrhea leading to shock. The patient was taken to the hospital to go to the emergency room. Even the antidiarrheal medicine was useless. The patient has an immune disorder.

I also met a patient with diarrhea and bloody stools. At first, I thought it was diarrhea caused by ulcerative colitis. I gave treatment, but there was no improvement. Later, I took the patient’s stool for examination, and the result was amoebic dysentery infection. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the patient’s intestines may not be protected and a large section will be cut off. Therefore, serious diarrhea should be checked in more detail to avoid misdiagnosis.

Be sure to rehydrate in moderation during diarrhea

In addition to drug treatment when necessary, many people also buy sports drinks to replenish electrolytes during diarrhea. This approach is helpful to children with diarrhea, but remember to dilute it with boiled water before drinking; as for adults, it is not used. This method, as long as you add boiled water, if the pull is serious, you can drink it in salt water to supplement sodium ions, and if necessary, you need to go to the hospital for drips.

After diarrhea, when you start to resume eating, it is best to eat light and easy-to-digest liquid food such as rice porridge and clear soup first, so that the intestinal tract can resume function as soon as possible.

In addition, it is worth noting that although diarrhea is only a symptom, persistent diarrhea will lead to a large loss of water, nutrients and electrolytes. If not handled properly, it may cause dehydration or even shock and death. If this is the case, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

In addition, milk itself also stimulates gastrointestinal motility. Many people with constipation problems will drink milk to improve constipation problems.

General gastroenteritis, is it okay to pull a few more times?

Most gastroenteritis will go away on its own, and you don’t need to be overly nervous, as long as it doesn’t get very uncomfortable, it usually doesn’t matter. In 1 or 2 days, empty the contents of the intestines, and the symptoms will be relieved. Unless the pull is very uncomfortable, you need to take medicine to stop diarrhea.

Are people who often have diarrhea more likely to get colon cancer?

Stomach beating does not cause bowel cancer. However, some bowel cancers will appear as changes in bowel habits, such as going to the toilet twice a day instead of going to the toilet several times a day, or going to the toilet 2 or 3 times a day instead of going to the toilet less than once a day, and changing the shape of the stool , It is sticky and lasts for 1 or 2 months. In such cases, it is best to go to the hospital to find a doctor for a detailed examination.

From this research, it seems that the brain is related to the intestinal interaction, which is why many people When faced with exam pressure, diarrhea occurs.
