Long-term constipation can lead to colorectal cancer. Because the causes of chronic constipation is one of the partial eclipse or vegetable to eat too little, so that food, too little fiber. The colorectal cancer in a high animal protein, high-fat, so-called "refined eating" mainly Europe and the United States and other countries have a higher prevalence. Therefore, it was considered, the partial eclipse high-fat, high-protein diet, may cause an increase in intestinal Inner fluid and anaerobic bacteria to produce more cancer-causing substances, such as acid molecular structure and carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbons is very similar; intestinal Daoli anaerobic fusiform bacillus can deoxycholic acid into carcinogen 3 - methylcholanthrene. As the partial eclipse, food, cellulose less constipation, the stool stays in the intestine in prolonged, hard stool in the increased concentration of these carcinogenic substances that can induce colon cancer, so the incidence of colorectal cancer can increase.

Polyp was referring to the bulge on the surface of the digestive tract mucous membrane lesions prominent cavity. Colorectal polyps is any elevated lesion in the colorectal mucosa surface, the general term, name, saying only that the naked eye appearance, does not indicate the nature of pathology. Within the gastrointestinal tract polyps in the large intestine is most prevalent, especially in the rectum and sigmoid colon is even worse, the size can be from the diameter of 2 millimeters to 10 cm or more, multiple due to chronic irritation caused by feces.

Long-term constipation, so that stool in the colon to stay too long. Stool rough slag and foreign matter in the long-term to stimulate the mucosal epithelium, could easily lead to colorectal mucosa damage. Or because of the long-term to stimulate the mucosal epithelium, destroyed the locally stable state of equilibrium, so that the excessive cell proliferation; or cell shedding slowed down; or a combination of both and therefore I the formation of polyp-like protuberances. Thus, long-term constipation can also lead to colon polyps.
