We all do it. For some, it’s a necessary inconvenience. For others, it’s a pleasant and satisfying part of the digestive process. It has fascinated toddlers since time immemorial, and there’s a reason for that.
第二次可能不是晚宴上的最漂亮的话题,但是从这个平凡的情况下学习了很多,但神秘的过程。最后(没有双关语),它只是我们运作体的一部分。
那么,大便究竟是什么?
嗯,它主要只是未消化的食物,蛋白质,细菌,盐和由肠系产生和释放的其他物质。虽然每个人都是独一无二的大小的大便,但有一些东西表明健康(或不健康)的大便。
Healthy poop can be as varied and as unique as the individuals who make it. But there are a few general rules to follow if you want to assess your poo artistry for optimum health.
Color
The poop emoji has one thing right: the brown coloring. The combination ofstomach bile和bilirubin, which is a pigment compound formed from the breakdown of red blood cells in the body, gets the credit for this oh-so-lovely shade of brown.
形状
有些日志状的形状是由于其在肠内的形成,大部分大部分粪便都应该出现。但是,正如我们稍后的那样,大便可以拥有各种形状。
When they differentiate from the log shape, that’s when your poop is trying to tell you something’s up.
Size
小便不应该在小颗粒中出来 - 别的东西我们会稍后 - 但是应该是长度的几英寸,而且舒适且易于通过。
一致性
Anywhere between a firm and soft consistency is pretty much normal. If it sways too much one way or another, it could suggest some digestion orfiber issues。
时间长短
一个常见的笑话是,当有人在浴室需要太长时,它必须意味着他们是划船。然而,健康的大便应该很容易通过,只需一分钟左右即可推出。
That said, some people do spend a bit more time on the toilet, so as a general rule, a poop should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes.
Frequency
Fun fact: Did you know most people poop around the same time every day?
On average, a person with healthy digestion will poop anywhere betweenevery other day to three times a day。任何少可能提出可能的便秘。这意味着你需要更多的水来移动“船”。
TheBristol stool chartis an overarching indicator of how and why different types of poops look or feel a certain way. It’s broken up into seven categories based on a
1型:大理石
外貌:Hard and separate little lumps that look like nuts and are hard to pass.
表示:这些小颗粒通常意味着你便秘。它不应该经常发生。
2型:卡特彼勒
外貌:日志形状但块状。
表示:在这里,我们有另一个便秘的迹象,再次不应该经常发生。
3型:热狗
外貌:Log-shaped with some cracks on the surface.
表示:这是大便的黄金标准,特别是如果它有点柔软且易于通过。
类型4:蛇
外貌:Smooth and snake-like.
表示:医生也认为这是一个正常的大便,每1到3天都会发生一次。
5型:amoebas
外貌:Small, like the first ones, but soft and easy to pass; the blobs also have clear cut edges.
表示:This type of poop means you’re lacking fiber and should find ways to add some to your diet through cereal or vegetables.
Type 6: Soft serve
外貌:蓬松和糊状的边缘。
表示:This too-soft consistency could be a sign of mild diarrhea. Try drinking more water and电解液注入饮料to help improve this.
Type 7: Jackson Pollock
外貌:完全含水,没有固体碎片。
表示:换句话说,你有跑步,或者腹泻。This means your stool moved through your bowels very quickly and didn’t form into a healthy poop.
与尺寸和一致性一样,大便的颜色可能是关于您身体内部发生的事情的有用信号。正如我们之前所提到的那样,不同的褐色色调是被认为是常态的。
甚至是一丝绿色被认为是健康的。但如果你的便便在彩虹的其他目的是转向,你可能想要评估。
Black
如果您有甘草,铁补充剂,或者铋药物(如Pepto-Bismol)背后的解释,这可能是黑色的粪便。If you haven’t had any of that, black poop could be a sign of在上胃肠道出血。
它看起来像是红色会对这种关注的颜色更有可能,但由于它拍摄了一段时间来旅行,它更旧,因此更暗。
绿色的
而绿色的暗示是非常正常的,如果您的大便从棕色到满绿色,它可能意味着两件事之一。要么你已经添加了许多像菠菜一样的绿色食品,或者你的凳子太快了。当它没有拾取棕色着色胆红素那么多时,它有更多的胆汁盐,使其变成这种颜色。
苍白,白色或粘土
If your poop is a chalky light shade, it might mean you’re lacking bile. Bile is a digestive fluid that comes from your liver and gallbladder, so if you’re producing white stool, it probably means your duct is blocked.
苍白大便也可能是某些药物等副作用,如抗神经药物。无论哪种方式,如果它继续,请咨询医生。
Red
You’re probably not surprised to hear that red poop can mean bleeding, either due to痔疮or to bleeding in the lower intestinal tract. If your stool is a little red, however, there may be no need to immediately fret.
这种颜色变化的其他不太严重的原因。食品喜欢甜菜,蔓越莓,红色明胶或西红柿汁也可以转动红色。
黄色的
油腻,臭,黄色凳子通常是脂肪太多的标志。这也可能是与吸收障碍的直接关系腹菌病, where your body isn’t absorbing enough nutrients.
If your poop looks bright yellow, it could signify a condition calledgiardiasis,which is caused by an intestinal parasite in North America and the world. Typically, you can get giardiasis from contaminated water or exposure to a person with the condition.
每一次又一次,当你看看卫生间碗时,你会看到像浴缸里的玩具帆船一样吹嘘鲍勃。像似乎一样令人震惊,这意味着凳子比其他人的粪便少得多。
这种缺乏密度的一个潜在原因可以来自增加的气体或水量,甚至是高纤维饮食。
不可能再一次,吸收性也可能是浮凳的原因。如果是这种情况,也可能存在前面提到的其他异常,如轻微的便秘。
便秘定义为每周少于三个排便。
可能有很多原因,你体验这种缺乏大便。结肠或直肠周围的神经问题可能会减慢盆腔的粪便,因为盆腔肌肉可能存在问题。影响荷尔蒙的病症,如怀孕或糖尿病,也可能是罪魁祸首。
如果您正在遇到这种堵塞的感觉,您可以添加更多high fiber foodsto your diet, like beans, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Drinking lots of fluids, staying active, andmanaging stress也可以帮助减轻便秘。
If a diet change doesn’t seem to get things moving, constipation could be caused by某些药物or even a blockage in the bowel. Talking with a doctor is the best course of action to find relief in this instance.
这里有一个绿色的大便或困难的大便发生在我们最好的。这是当这种类型的违规行为有超过一天或两人,你应该采取行动并与医生交谈。相同的颜色或一致性或便秘的变化。
慢性便秘可以阻塞肠道,而慢性腹泻可以使一个人难以吸收食物的必要营养素。两个都慢性便秘和慢性腹泻could even be a sign of more serious conditions.
同样,其中任何一个的第一个迹象都不应该是令人关切的立即导致的,但留意它,看看它是否超过了几天。
那说,注意任何血迹的迹象。如果你没有吃上面提到的任何食物,那么可以转动你的大便这种颜色,立即与医生交谈。
尽可能快地写下,我们的大便可以为我们的健康和我们自己提供丰富的知识。所以下次你弹出一个蹲下,注意到发生了什么。卫生间碗是你健康和你的窗户。
