It is said that half of the health status of contemporary migrant workers is recorded in their medical examination reports, while the other half is recorded in their "experience of using the restroom". When you feel that "hmm" is not smooth and "ju" is tense, don't just think about yesterday's hotpot. Maybe you should ask yourself: Recently, has that string in your heart been too tight? You should know that emotions and intestines actually share a "hotline".
You may not know that the gut is the largest "emotional organ" in the human body, known as the "second brain". Once you fall into long-term anxiety, this pathway will be "signal disrupted": either causing the gut to move too fast, leading to frequent diarrhea; Either let the intestines' strike 'and the stool become dry and hard to pass. Both of these situations can put tremendous pressure on the anus, and over time, hemorrhoids will naturally come knocking on the door.
What's even more frightening is that prolonged sitting during anxiety can double the damage compared to relaxation. Can you feel it: when you are focused on rushing to work or scrolling through anxious news, do you unconsciously shrug your shoulders and hold your breath? Even the pelvic floor muscles are quietly tightening? This' muscle tension style sedentary 'can cause a surge in perianal pressure, several times higher than the normal relaxed sedentary state, effectively putting a' tightening spell 'on the' anus'.
Do you still like to comfort yourself with delicious food when you are under a lot of pressure? Fried chicken, barbecue, milk tea, cake... These high oil and high sugar foods can indeed temporarily relieve irritability, but the cost is very painful. They can disrupt the beneficial microbiota in the intestines and exacerbate the body's inflammatory response. And these are the important drivers that exacerbate the discomfort of the 'Chrysanthemum', equivalent to adding fuel and fire to it.
Another common situation is to use the bathroom as a 'mental sanctuary'. Being pressured by work and annoyed by household chores every day, one can only have a moment of peace when hiding in a small and private bathroom and scrolling through their phone. This kind of "toilet escapism" has caused many people to spend an infinite amount of time using the toilet, with things that can be solved in 10 minutes being dragged on for more than half an hour. The psychological satisfaction, however, puts long-term pressure on the anus, becoming a "breeding ground" for hemorrhoids.
