The intestinal tract is an important digestive organ of the human body, and it is also the largest detoxification organ of the human body, and it is also the section with the most important function. Therefore, the state of the intestinal tract determines the appearance and beauty of a person.

The body's largest immune system is the gut. As the saying goes, "disease enters through the mouth", most germs are eaten from the mouth, and the main way for bacteria to enter the human body is the intestines.

It's not hard to imagine that gut health depends on gut activity. These germs will be resisted by the beneficial flora in the intestines, and cannot invade the human body in a short period of time, and other circulations will soon be excreted from the body along with defecation, so naturally they cannot cause people to get sick.

Moreover, other immune and detoxification systems, such as liver, serum, lymphatic system, etc., all need the nutrients provided by the intestines to survive. In this sense, the intestines are the largest immune organ in the human body, and the movement of the intestines supports the entire life activity Not at all.

It is precisely because the gut has so many functions that it is also vulnerable to injury. Studies have found that 80% of diseases are inseparable from the intestinal tract, such as obesity, cancer and diabetes, etc., are all related to the imbalance of intestinal flora.

Intestinal health is not healthy, defecation can be seen?

By observing the color, shape, volume, odor and parasites of the stool, you can tell whether the bowel is healthy from the stool.

1. Abnormal stool color, normal stool color is yellow, if there is jam-colored stool, or infected with amoebic dysentery, intussusception, etc.; if the stool color is tarry, or caused by gastrointestinal bleeding.

2. The stool is not formed. The watery stool of rice swill is more common in cholera, and the stool with pus and blood is more common in bacillary dysentery, colon cancer, intestinal tuberculosis, ulcerative colitis, etc. Spherical hard stools are seen in habitual constipation and weak defecation in the elderly. Intestinal spasms, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, and rectal cancer can be seen in thin pencil-shaped stools.

3. Abnormal defecation volume: those who eat fine grains and meat eat less feces, while those who eat coarse grains and vegetables mainly have more feces. Fewer defecation frequency but increased defecation volume is more common in upper intestinal tract lesions; increased defecation frequency but decreased defecation volume is mostly in lower intestinal tract lesions.

4. Abnormal smell of stool: foul smell of stool is seen in chronic enteritis, pancreatic disease, and corruption of undigested protein. Sour stools are due to indigestion or malabsorption of fats and sugars.

Reminder: Focus on screening for these 4 types of high-risk groups

【People who suffer from anorectal disease and have found intestinal polyps】

Intestinal polyps can be divided into hyperplastic, inflammatory, hamartomatous and adenomatous polyps. Among them, adenomatous polyps have a certain rate of canceration. People who have intestinal diseases and have found intestinal polyps should focus on screening.

【Sedentary people every day】

The intestinal peristalsis of people who have been sitting for a long time is weakened and slowed down, and harmful components in the feces, including carcinogens, will stay in the colon. Coupled with long-term sedentary, blood does not circulate, all increase the risk of colon cancer. Due to work reasons, it is best for people who sit for a long time to check their intestines in time.

【People who have irregular bowel movements】

People with irregular bowel movements should consider gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to have a colonoscopy to see if there are diseases such as ulcerative colitis. For patients with bloody stools and diarrhea, fecal occult blood test, rotavirus, blood routine, blood biochemistry and other related tests are also required.

【Family History of Cancer】

Some colorectal cancers are obviously hereditary. If close relatives have a history of cancer, such people should have colonoscopy at least every year at the age of 20 to 30 for early detection.

Reminder from the doctor: Suffering from anorectal diseases, sitting for a long time every day, irregular bowel movements, and family history of cancer, these four types of high-risk groups should focus on screening for intestinal diseases, early detection, early treatment, and early recovery.
