Every food that enters the body will be processed through the large intestine before being discharged into stool or in scientific language it is called feces. Therefore, defecation patterns can reflect the health condition of the large intestine. If the feces produced in a defective bowel is unnatural, your colon health is suspect.

According to an internal medicine expert RSCM / FK UI, Prof. Ari Fahrial Syam, MD, MMB, FACP, FINASIM (@dokterari), a good feces are shaped like bananas with a soft and tanned texture. The feces can be removed normally without straining. Normal bowel movements are taken once a day or once in two days. If it occurs more or less than that, then it is the sign of abnormality. An abnormal feces can be marked by the need of straining, a hard texture, shaped like a goat droppings, black colored, bleeding, or diarrhea. If these signs appear, you should immediately see a doctor. Feces conditions need to be monitored every day because if an abnormality occurs and is left unchecked, feces in the large intestine can lead to cancer.

To facilitate the defecation, Prof. Ari recommend to consume a lot of fiber obtained from vegetables and fruits. Consuming probiotics obtained from yogurt is also help to facilitate the defecation. A good digestion is also obtained through a healthy lifestyle by reducing consumption of red meat, consuming enough water, and exercising regularly.

Healthy greetings.
