CORRELATION IN BETWEEN CONSTIPATION AND KIDNEYS: EXPLAINED BY A UROLOGIST IN PUNJAB
Correlation in between constipation and kidneys: explained by a Urologist in Punjab.
We have all heard the philosophical story of the glass being full and hence not being able to receive any more water into its body. The reason being when we are already full we cannot ingest any more nutrition into our systems. The same kind of logic applies to our bodily systems as well we are not able to intake air if our lungs are filled with air, similarly, if our undigested food is not expelled from the body we will not be able to ingest the new nutrition which is being introduced into the body. That is when it makes the process of assimilation into the body difficult hence the waste needs to be expelled from the body to bring in new nutrition into the body.
But why is it that we need to expel waste from the body what happens if the waste remains clogged in the body for a very long time, are there any negative consequences for the same let us understand all the above questions in detail.
WHY IS THE EXPULSION OF WASTE IMPORTANT FROM THE BODY??
-
The expulsion of waste is firstly important of course to maintain the required metabolism that is needed in the body for the assimilation of newer nutrients.
-
To maintain osmo- regulation in the body and maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body.
-
To prevent the accumulation of waste in the body which may lead to gastric-related issues and also hamper the working of the digestive system as a whole.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE STOOL IS ACCUMULATED??
If the stool is accumulated for a long time, then that will lead to fecal implantation. Fecal implantation is a result of poop that is accumulated for a long time which may lead to colon-related issues and also cause rectum infections. Infections with the colon can lead to bloodstream poisoning and thus affect the overall functioning of the body. Apart from the discomfort being caused in the colon, the clogged poop may further get decomposed because of gastric juices and then gradually lead to a problem that is more popularly known as the hole in the colon.
As a very popular Urologist in Ludhiana who has performed a few kidney stone surgeries in Punjab explains “ the occurrence of the disease is the stagnation point for the entire digestion system because it actually hampers the entire Osmo regulatory processes and thus leads to an entire imbalance of the body.
To avoid smooth movement of stool through the digestive system and out of the body people need to lubricate and maintain the moisture level in the intestine to facilitate movement from the intestines. But water is not alone enough for the effective functioning of the digestive system, water merely facilitates the movement of the poop but whereas if the matter of adding bulk to the stool is considered then people are often advised to take a diet rich in cellulose and roughage because then the stool is firm and the kidney does not feel dehydrated.
