Welcome to Ask Doctor Zac, a weekly column from news.com.au. This week, Dr Zac Turner explains why doing a poo can make you feel good.
s it the same reason my cat always starts bolting around the house in glee after it does a poo? Surely there is a medical reason behind this!? – AnonThis question made me laugh! I am happy to say that you are not crazy. You are speaking the truth we are all afraid to admit., and not be afraid to discuss our bowel movements . There’s the famous saying ‘even the queen poos ’, and we need to be wearing it on our sleeve. Well, maybe not our sleeve, but you get the idea.
You need to realise that poo is the stuff your body does not want at all. When it is ready to leave your body, it is crammed in your gastrointestinal tract. This creates a lot of pressure within your body, producing feelings of discomfort. This is why constipation can cause so much grief for people. When you go to the bathroom you are releasing this pressure, leading to an immediate sense of physical and physiological wellbeing.
