The condition of the stool can reflect the health of the body, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Dry stools are quite common in daily life, and in some cases, they are severe enough to cause constipation.

Dry stools do not cause significant harm in the early stages, but if they progress to severe constipation, they may lead to chronic enteritis as well as intestinal obstruction.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dry stools are mainly caused by qi and blood deficiency and heat and fire. Qi and blood deficiency refers to the poor functioning of the body's qi and blood, which can also be described as abnormal internal circulation. Poor qi and blood circulation can lead to reduced digestive function, lack of power in the intestines, and an accumulation of stools that cannot be eliminated. Heat and fire can cause the stomach and intestines to accumulate heat, and food residue stays in the intestines for too long, leading to a lack of water in the intestines and dry stools.

What about dry stools?

1. Drink more water

Drink plenty of warm plain water as appropriate, and don't wait until you are thirsty, when your body is already suggesting dehydration. Ensure adequate water intake every day, about 2,000 milliliters, at different times of the day, so as to maintain normal physiological functions.

2. Regulating diet

You should pay more attention to your diet, eat more fiber-rich foods every day, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, coarse grains, etc., and eat less spicy, fried and other stimulating foods, and control the intake of tobacco and alcohol.

3. Strengthening sports

Moderate exercise, according to your physical condition, is conducive to promoting peristalsis in the intestines, which in turn promotes the elimination of feces.

4. Drug treatment

You can take intestinal probiotics to regulate gastrointestinal flora and promote intestinal peristalsis. When the effect of diet as well as probiotics regulation is not satisfactory, you can use lactulose oral solution, sodium phosphate salt and other drugs to guide stool treatment.

If the situation of dry stools lasts too long, without significant improvement, or even aggravation, and medication can not be relieved, or after stopping the medication and then recur, it should be considered whether there are intestinal polyps, chronic colitis may be, and it is recommended to do colonoscopy as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis.

Stool dry as sheep's feces, defecation is very difficult, the number of bowel movements become less or even a few days without defecation, defecation volume is small and irregular, this situation belongs to the more serious constipation, most of the fluid is dried up, deficiency of yin, intestinal loss of nourishment, so constipation, dry and difficult to go down. General infants and young children with incomplete development of the spleen and stomach function and the elderly due to blood deficiency and fluid withered due to the more common, people in the fever or fire when this situation will be exacerbated.

This is the case, one is to drink more warm water or honey water, honey tonic dry, Zhang Zhongjing with the treatment of dry stools, the creation of honey decoction guide and so on; two is to eat regular diet, chewing and swallowing slowly, eat more laxative food such as bananas, dragon fruits, leafy green vegetables and oil-rich dried fruits, such as pine nuts, walnuts, peach kernels, etc., the diet to the main light and easy to digest, as far as possible, do not eat spicy and deep-fried foods; three is to develop a regular defecation Appropriate exercise such as jogging and walking, not only to enhance physical fitness, but also to promote gastrointestinal motility, clockwise kneading of the abdomen also promotes the role of gastrointestinal motility; if necessary, you can take some nourishing yin and moistening the dryness of proprietary medicines such as Ma Ren Pills or Wu Ren Pills to regulate the heat phenomenon is obvious you can take aloe vera capsule.

Relief from the condition of having poop like sheep's poop usually takes a longer process, so it is important to start with a good diet, lifestyle and bowel habits on a daily basis.

Haha, this is what the old man said when I was a child, 'pulling sheep's dung eggs', if your stool is as dry as a sheep's dung egg, it means that the stool is dry and hard. The main cause of this kind of feces is the food you eat and the environment. If long-term, not only constipation, relieve the stool to laborious, but also induced pain in the chrysanthemum, for middle-aged and elderly people, not only easy to cause anal fissure, but also because of receiving the stool force is too strong and cause the anal part of the small blood vessel rupture, blood pressure rise and other cardiovascular diseases.

So what's the main reason for the shape of the stool?

First of all, lack of water, insufficient water intake in the body, water in the human body constitutes a component of the composition of the human body environment, and participate in the body's material metabolism, in the blood circulation, digestion and absorption, excretion process, can accelerate and promote the absorption of nutrients and the excretion of wastes, it can make the human body metabolism, as well as physiological and chemical reactions can be carried out smoothly. In other words, water not only plays a role in diluting feces, but also facilitates fecal discharge.

Secondly, eat too fine, do not like to eat fruits and vegetables, which is also common in modern people, staple food eat too fine, never eat coarse grains, and vegetables and fruits intake is low, the lack of dietary fiber, vitamin B1 intake, weakened gastric dynamics as well as the weight of feces.

Due to the above reasons, the feces will be retained in the colon for too long, the water will be excessively absorbed, and the feces will become dry and hard.

What to do?

1, to develop a daily love of water, love to eat fruits and vegetables, cereals coarse and fine with the habit, do not wait until thirsty to drink water, the amount of water per day can not be less than 1500 ml, eat vegetables every day, every day to eat fruits, 300-500 grams of vegetables per day, of which dark-colored vegetables accounted for half. Fruit intake is guaranteed at 200-350 grams. The daily intake of coarse grains is 100 grams.

2, develop the habit of regular defecation, otherwise it will reduce the rectum to fecal stimulation sensitivity is reduced. You can get up every morning and drink a glass of warm water, intentionally or unintentionally for defecation.

3, can be under the supervision of professionals, taking probiotics, long-term poor dietary habits lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, intestinal flora disorders, so you can eat probiotics to the colon flora for a regulation.

Stool dry like sheep's feces this indicates that the stool in the intestine for too long, resulting in the moisture of the stool by the intestinal tract sucked dry so stool dry like sheep's feces. In this case, we need to replenish water, in addition to promote accelerate intestinal peristalsis. We should first ensure that the daily water intake is not less than 1500 milliliters. At the same time, pay attention to eat more crude fiber food, to ensure that intestinal peristalsis accelerated. In addition to this, it can also be relieved through the way of traditional Chinese medicine conditioning.

First: can not tolerate stool, there is stool to go to the squatting toilet, if you tolerate stool, stool in the rectum pot belly to stay for a long time, you will lose the intention to poop, stool water will also be absorbed by the intestinal tract, to solve the beginning of the part of the stool will be thick and dry!

Second: if constipation, first from their own reasons, less exercise, bowel movement slowed down, will cause constipation, as well as dietary structure, crude fiber food can make the stool fluffy, easy to discharge.

If the above conditions are noted, the stool is still dry, usually pay attention to drink more water, more consumption of auxiliary laxative fruits, such as dragon fruit, ripe bananas, kiwi, nuts and so on. If the dry knot can be treated by medication, do not use long-term anthraquinone-containing drugs, such as rhubarb, mangosteen, aloe vera and other drugs, long-term use can lead to darkening of the colorectal mucosa, more constipation. If constipation is serious to consult a specialist, do not take drugs.

I used to do the same thing, once every two or three days, and the poop was like goat poop, we call it a stone drum here. There was no discomfort anywhere. Then I insisted on drinking lots of water especially in the morning after waking up and before going to bed at night must drink warm boiled water, never cold boiled water. Eat lots of fruits like apples, bananas, pears. Eat two bananas at most. Do not stay up late, staying up late is also easy to cheap. Adhere to daily brisk walking. At present, my stool is normal. Exercise more and drink more water, absolutely useful!

Try to use dietary therapy, corkscrew can be used, but not more than once, it can be dependent.

Everyone has a different body type, so maybe the appropriate method is different.

You can eat more sweet potatoes. New Year's time steamed a pot of sweet potatoes, put on the radiator hot as a snack to eat, super effective, before a week also do not defecate, surprisingly, a day to go twice, very smooth, go to the toilet after the whole person is relaxed.

You can eat more sesame seeds and sesame oil and put more in your mix.

1 dietary treatment: avoid eating too much chicken, duck, fish and other proteins, especially sheep, beef, eat less fried food, drink more water, eat more sweet potatoes, kelp, bananas and other foods rich in fiber.


2. medication: oral phenolphthalein tablets, or corkscrew into the anus, or Chinese medicine senna tea but can not drink long-term (weakness should not).

3 If constipation is combined with symptoms such as facial swelling, bradycardia, anorexia and bloating, muscle weakness, and fear of cold, you should go to the hospital to check if you have a disease such as hypothyroidism.

I usually have this kind of situation, most of the time it is caused by irregular diet and drinking less water. In general, I will make adjustments in the diet, such as eating more fiber-containing foods and foods containing more water, such as celery juice, celery fried fungus, mixed spinach, dragon fruit and apple yogurt, potato and honey juice, steamed sweet potatoes, steamed apples and carrots, etc., and then with more warm water, a glass of green juice in the morning or a glass of saline water, usually two to three days can improve. So regular eating habits and proper exercise is very important.

This situation is considered constipation, if long-term so recommended hospital gastroenterology consultation, it is necessary to feasible enteroscopy further examination. If just usually occasionally, pay attention to appropriate drinking water, strengthen exercise, pay attention to eating vegetables, fruits and vegetables and coarse grains to supplement dietary fiber, avoid sedentary, defecation difficulties can be temporary temporary use of Keserol, lactulose oral solution, pCms "Ma Ren Pills" and other medications to assist in laxative. Repeated constipation can easily lead to or aggravate anal and intestinal disorders such as hemorrhoids, anal fissure or even prolapse, a healthy and regular lifestyle and habits are very important.
