Fecal impaction is a large mass of hard, dry stool that remains stuck in the rectum and almost always seen in patients with prolonged constipationaccording to Medline Plus, the US National Library of Medicine.
In addition, he explained that the symptoms are:
- Small and semi-formed stools.
- Straining when trying to pass stool.
Other possible symptoms include:
- Bladder pressure or loss of bladder control.
- Pain in the back side of the back.
- Rapid heart rate or dizziness from straining to pass stool.
That being said, The Truth News pointed out that aloe vera is a plant that helps to eliminate feces accumulated in the body.
Additionally, according to the Portuguese portal for health, nutrition and well-being ‘Tua Saúde’ “the aloe contains aloin and barbaloin, substances present in the bark of the plant with properties that They help combat constipation, since they promote intestinal movements, facilitating the elimination of feces.
In addition to this, he added that “because it has a prebiotic action, this plant helps stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, balancing the intestinal flora and improving its functioning.”
Consequently, to obtain the benefits, the gel must be removed from the plant and it must be liquefied with a proportion of 100 g of gel in one liter of water.
Likewise, Aloe vera capsules can be used, whose daily recommendation is one capsule per day before lunch, being used only under the guidance of the doctor.
However, it is important to note that although it acts as a laxative, aloe latex can also cause abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Also, aloe latex should not be eaten, as unprocessed aloe latex contains chemicals that appear to cause cancer, and processed aloe latex may contain cancer-causing compounds. Additionally, taking one gram of aloe latex a day for several days can cause kidney damage and might be fatal.
In any case, before consuming aloe vera, the first thing to do is consult a health expert so that he or she guides the process and indicates what is most appropriate for each person, since the information given above in no way replaces medical advice.
For its part, to eliminate feces accumulated in the body you can:
- Increase the consumption of foods rich in fiber: There are two different types of fiber: soluble and insoluble, and both are important for health, digestion, and disease prevention. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material, while insoluble fiber adds bulk to stool and appears to help food pass more quickly through the stomach and intestines.
- Drinking water: According to the Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit entity dedicated to clinical practice, education, and research, daily water consumption is different for men and women, since there are differences between intake, but generally men should consume 3.7 liters of water per day and women should drink 2.7 liters.
- Do exercise: World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week for all adults, including people living with chronic conditions or disability, and a average of 60 minutes a day for children and adolescents.
