Why do I feel weak after pooping?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.

I'm experiencing some itching and a sensation of something pinching in my anus, but I can't see anything there. It mostly happens when I'm sitting or if I'm walking quickly. What could be causing this?

Your symptoms suggest anal itching (pruritus ani) or rectal pain, possibly due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or levator ani syndrome, exacerbated by pressure from sitting or walking; consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with stomach worms for about 6 years now. I've seen lots of doctors and tried different medications, but nothing seems to work because the issue is still there. I also have this persistent itching around my anus, and it's affecting my health. I'm feeling really physically weak because of it. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what else can I do to finally get rid of it?

My wife has an 18 mm stone in her gall bladder and sometimes she feels pain because of it. I'm wondering if there are ayurvedic treatments for this or if she will have to rely only on allopathic medicine.

For an 18 mm gallbladder stone, Ayurvedic treatments like certain herbs (e.g., Gokshura, Triphala) may help manage symptoms, but they might not dissolve large stones. Allopathic treatment, including possible surgery or non-invasive methods like lithotripsy, is usually recommended for stones of this size. It's best to consult a doctor for a personalized approach.
