Delaying defecation could be more dangerous than you think
When it comes to doing a number two, lots of people prefer
to wait until they're in the familiar and comfortable surroundings of their own
home.
Many are willing to spend hours stifling the urge to answer
that call of nature.
But delaying defecation could be far more dangerous than you
think.
In fact, some experts are warning that, as well as the
obvious discomfort, in extreme cases holding a poo in for a lengthy period of
time could even result in death.
Those who repeatedly put off going to the toilet to poo on
time run the risk of developing a dysfunction in the muscle used for pooing.
