In everyday life, defecation is an important route to physical discharge, often reflected in colour and texture. While this topic may sound awkward, understanding changes in the colour of shit is essential for the timely identification of potential health problems. Today, we come together to explore the relationship between shit colour and health, and we hope that this article will lead to a better understanding of our physical condition.
Normal shit colour: Brown. Normal healthy shit color is usually brown or brown. This colour is derived mainly from the food residues that we eat on a daily basis, especially the iron elements that are not absorbed after digestion and the chords in the bourbon. If your daily shit color is this natural brown, congratulations, your digestive system is probably working.
2. White or gray shit. White or gray shit may mean you have a problem with your gall system. Courage is a digestive solution made from the liver and stored in the gall bladders, which gives a shit color. If the gallows are blocked and the gallows fail to enter the intestinal tract, the shit loses its normal colour and becomes white or grey. This may be associated with gallstones, cholesterol or more severe liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. In the event of a cavity colour anomaly, medical examinations should be conducted in a timely manner.
Black shit. Black and bright shit (commonly known as “breed poop”) may be signs of haemorrhage in digestive tracts. In upper digestive haemorrhages (e.g. stomach ulcer, 12-finger ulcer or stomach cancer), the blood stays in the intestinal tract for longer periods and is mixed with digestive fluid to form black shit. If it is accompanied by symptoms of dizziness, inactivity, heart attack, etc., immediate medical attention should be provided to prevent delay. Of course, certain foods (e.g., black chocolate, black sesame, blueberries, etc.) and medicines (e.g., iron, beryllium, etc.) may also lead to blackening of the toilet colours, but blackness in this case is usually not bright and there are no other associated symptoms.
4. Red shit. Red shit may be a sign of haemorrhage in the lower digestive tract, such as hemorrhoids, anal fractures, rectal flesh or rectal cancer. Blood is drained directly from the faeces, making the poop red or bloodlines. In addition, the consumption of large quantities of red food (e.g. tomatoes, beet roots, etc.) may lead to redness of the toilet colour, but in this case the red is usually more even and there is no apparent blood smell.
5. Green defecation. Green defecation may mean that your intestinal tract passes too fast, and the food residue is not fully mixed with the juice. This is usually associated with over-ingestion, indigestion or intestinal infections of green vegetables in the diet. Occasional green defecation need not be too worried, but if it is frequent and accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhoea and abdominal pain, it is recommended for medical examination.
6. Yellow or light yellow shit. Yellow or light yellow shit may indicate excessive cholesterol or poor intestinal absorption of fat. This may be related to cholesterol diseases, pancreas or certain nutritional absorption disorders. In cases where the urine colour is abnormally yellow and is accompanied by greasy or stench, timely medical attention should be provided.
7. Other colour changes, in addition to the above-mentioned common colour changes, may also reflect health problems, such as orange defecation, which may be associated with overingestion of carrots, and blue or purple defecation, which may be related to the consumption of special foods or drugs. In the face of these unusual colour changes, vigilance and consultation with doctors is the best option.
Concluding remarks
As a healthy barometer, defecation carries a wealth of health information, although it does not seem to be visible. Through careful observation and understanding of changes in lightweight colours, we can identify potential health problems in a timely manner and take appropriate measures to intervene. Of course, changes in the colour of poop do not always mean the existence of a disease and may sometimes be associated with food, medicine, etc. It is therefore wiser to remain calm, to analyse rationally and to consult professional doctors in the face of changes in the colour of shit.
It is hoped that this article will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between the color of poop and the health of the body, so as to give more attention to the state of health and enjoy a healthy and better life.
