Is it bad for your health to hold in a poo for, say, half an hour after you firs!
Question: Common sense would say if your body wants to expel waste you should comply.
Answers: Common sense would say if your body wants to expel waste you should comply.
Not especially. It won't kill you.
yes you can get haemarrhoids
yes your inside would burn
No!
It would have been really ironic if it is so. Etiquette goes to hell if we have to poo whenever we need to goooo...
Yes, you will surely die!
Naah, just kidding. While it's not great for your body, doing it every so often for convenience's sake probably won't cause any long term damage.
However, if you hold on for too long, you can get constipation, which causes problems of it's own, such as anal bleeding, haemerrhoids, and high blood pressure from straining to 'go'. Just get plenty of fibre and drink plenty of water. Then go when it's convenient. If you're not waiting 5 hours to go, it probably won't hurt you.
Why do I know this stuff?
Turtle necking is fine when needs must !
I don't think half an hour will hurt, much.
But if you leave it for more than a couple of hours, and don't drink enough water, you'll have to go to hospital. Constipation can get pretty serious. I know someone who that happened to. They shoved a hose thing up his butt. It doesn't sound to comfortable.
Nope sometimes there just isnt a right place to go.
ive had to hold one in whilst at work and that was 6 hrs.
