The intestine 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 most important part of the function. Therefore, the state of the intestinal tract determines the appearance and beauty of a person.

The largest immune system in the body is the gut. As the saying goes, "disease enters from 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 motility. These bacteria will be resisted by the beneficial flora in the intestine and cannot invade the human body in a short period of time. Other circulation will soon be excreted with the urination and defecation, and naturally cannot cause people to get sick.

And other immune and detoxification systems, such as liver, serum, lymphatic system, etc., all need nutrients provided by the intestine to survive. In this sense, the intestine is the largest immune organ in the human body, and intestinal movement supports the entire life activities. Not at all.

It is precisely because of the many functions of the intestine that it is easily injured. Studies have found that 80% of diseases are inseparable from the intestinal tract, such as obesity, cancer and diabetes, which are related to intestinal flora imbalance.

Is the gut healthy or not, can it be seen from defecation?

You can tell from your stool whether your gut is healthy or not by looking at the color, shape, volume, smell, and parasites of your 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, and the swill-like stool is more common in cholera, and the pus and blood stool 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-like stools.

3. Abnormal defecation volume: people with refined grains and meat eat less feces, and people with coarse grains and vegetables have more feces. Fewer defecations but increased defecation volume are more common in upper intestinal lesions; increased defecation frequency and decreased defecation volume are mostly lesions in lower intestinal lesions.

4. Abnormal odor of stool: The odor of stool is seen in chronic enteritis, pancreatic diseases, and undigested protein spoilage. Sour stools are due to indigestion or malabsorption of fats and sugars.

Reminder: Key screening of these 4 high-risk groups

【People who have anorectal disease and have been diagnosed with intestinal polyps】

Intestinal polyps can be divided into hyperplastic, inflammatory, hamartoma and adenomatous polyps. Among them, adenomatous polyps have a certain cancer rate. People who have intestinal diseases and have been diagnosed with intestinal polyps are the best focus. Screening.

【People who are sedentary every day】

In people who are sedentary for long periods of time, intestinal motility is weakened and slowed down, and harmful components in the stool, including carcinogens, can lodge in the colon. Coupled with prolonged sitting and poor blood circulation, it increases the risk of colon cancer. Due to work reasons, it is best for people who are sedentary every day to check their bowels in time.

【People who have irregular bowel movements】

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

【Family History of Cancer】

Part of the incidence of colorectal cancer is obviously hereditary. If close relatives have a history of cancer, such people should have colonoscopy at least annually at the age of 20 to 30 for early detection.

The doctor reminds: people with anorectal diseases, sedentary every day, and irregular bowel movements. These four high-risk groups with a family history of cancer should focus on screening for intestinal diseases, early detection, early treatment, and early recovery.
