A long period of constipation may cause many harm to the body, including constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissure, etc.

What happens when shit is held in for a long time?

1. Constipated

long-term constipation will cause the water in the stool to be continuously absorbed by the intestine, making the stool dry and hard, and difficult to discharge, thus causing constipation.

2. Hemorrhoids

If repeated constipation is caused by long-term constipation, excessive force will be exerted during defecation, which will easily cause congestion and swelling of the anal canal or lower rectal vein, thus causing hemorrhoids.
