I often hear about constipation, loose stool and bloody stool, but few people really understand the causes of thin stool. Many people may think that it is caused by diet. In fact, there are other reasons besides diet. Now let me introduce the main reasons for the thinning of stool. I hope I can help you.
Causes of anal foreign bodies: hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, mixed hemorrhoids, anal fistula, perianal abscess and other anal diseases bring obvious discomfort of anal foreign bodies to patients. When anal foreign bodies block the anus, it is difficult for patients to defecate, or the stool becomes thinner and smaller due to the compression of foreign bodies, resulting in abnormal defecation.
Hemorrhoids: hemorrhoids are caused by varicose veins and fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the mucosa at the lower end of the anal canal and rectum. Especially for internal hemorrhoids, patients have protrusions or annular protrusions in the anus, which occupy the area of the anal canal. As a result, the passing stool is compressed and thinned, and blood is often attached to the surface of the beginning and end.
If anal papilla hypertrophy: anal papilla hypertrophy, also known as anal papilloma, is that the anal papilla increases and hardens due to the long-term stimulation of feces and chronic inflammation. It is one of the common benign tumors of anus and rectum. The anal papilla is hypertrophic and tumorous, and often blocks the anus. The patient has difficulty defecating or the stool becomes thinner due to oppression, and the defecation is endless.
Anorectal tumor: early manifestation of colorectal cancer, patients with increased number of stools, shapeless or loose stools, and bloody and mucus stools. Sometimes constipation or diarrhea alternates with constipation, and the stool becomes thinner. Abdominal pain varies in severity, mostly dull pain or swelling pain. When tumor necrosis or secondary infection, patients often have fever.
1. Pay attention to human hygiene, prevent diarrhea caused by food poisoning and avoid eating too much crude fiber food, such as bamboo shoots, celery, etc. Avoid foods with pungent smell or flatulence such as onion, garlic, beans and potato, so as to avoid obstruction of intestinal canal and stoma and inconvenience of life and work caused by frequent use of artificial bags. Adjust the diet to form the stool, and take oral astringent drugs when necessary.
2. Teach patients self-care, such as the use of anal bags, local skin care, etc.
3. Train defecation habits. For those who have descending colon or sigmoid colostomy, regular and repeated stimulation can be used to develop good defecation habits.
4. Properly grasp the activity intensity to avoid excessive increase of abdominal pressure, resulting in prolapse of artificial anocolon mucosa.
5. The perineal incision shall be bathed in 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water, and the preparation concentration shall be based on red bayberry. If the incision is not completely healed, it shall be taught to disinfect and change the dressing.
1. For those who are often constipated, some constipation drugs must be prepared at home, such as:
① Maren pill, 6G each time, twice a day.
② senna leaf, 10g each time, brew with boiling water for 15 minutes, drink and take.
③ take 10g Fructus aurantii, 20g white peony and 5g raw licorice in water. This prescription is suitable for people of all ages and all physique.
④ for Kaiselu, first apply glycerin in Kaiselu to the anus, then gently insert the tip of Kaiselu into the anus, squeeze out the liquid medicine, lie flat for a moment, and then defecate.
2. Usually eat more vegetables, seaweed, beans and other foods rich in fiber.
3. Pay attention to the rules of diet, drink more water and form the habit of defecating regularly.
4. If a normally healthy person suddenly has frequent constipation and changes the shape of stool, such as flattening and thinning, he should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to eliminate the possibility of tumor.
5. Patients with hypertension should pay attention to keep their stools unobstructed. When constipation, do not defecate with force.
6. Pay attention to increasing exercise and massaging the abdomen to promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation. Do not rely entirely on laxatives.
7. Long term constipation can induce anal fissure, hemorrhoids and rectal cancer. It may also increase blood pressure and induce stroke due to forced defecation, so we should pay attention to it.
