Correct Technique for Bowel Movements
Sit yourself comfortably on the loo seat, with your knees about hip distance apart and your feet flat on a raised platform ( between 16cm to 20cm height should make a comfortable posture) Lean forward and rest your forearms on your thighs. Ideally, your knees should be higher than your hips; if the toilet has a built seat, i.e. for arthritic reasons, 20cm should give you an appropriate posture.
Why Use This Position?
There are many advantages to adopting a semi squat posture:
- It makes evacuation faster, easier and more complete.
- It helps to prevent straining which may stretch and damage structual tissues including the nerves to the pelvic organs.
- It helps relax the pubo-rectalis muscle and produce a vertical anul canal.
- The anterior abdominal wall is supported against the thighs.
- It helps both children and adults develop good habits of evacuation and therefore reduces problems with constipation, symptoms from piles and may decrease the incidence of prolapse.
