Ideally, during the urge to defecate, you should immediately go to the toilet and empty your bowels. But there are circumstances when it is difficult or inconvenient to do this, for example, you are on the road, at work or in any other public place.
It would seem, what nonsense, you can be patient and go later. It turns out that postponing this matter will certainly lead to the appearance of any diseases, and in severe cases – even to death.
Fecal masses consist of 75% water, 25% of undigested foods, bacteria, substances secreted by the liver and intestines, fats and salts. The longer the feces are in the human body, the more it hardens and pollutes the body with toxins. There can be a lot of health problems from this. Consider the most common of them.
