Are you one of those people who refuse to poop in a public bathroom, and hold it until you get home? Well . . . you’re lucky to be alive.
According to doctors, holding in your poop can be dangerous . . . and even fatal. When you hold it in too often, you can make your sphincter muscles dysfunctional.
You can also develop an impacted bowel . . . that’s when a chunk of feces gets stuck and can’t move. And that can cause serious constipation issues.
Even worse, it’s basically a big lump of toxins. So if you don’t get treatment for it, it could require surgery.
And in the most extreme cases, it might even be fatal.
