Can you die from holding in your poop?

Answer 1

The body produces waste everyday.(obviously!) to rid this waste from your body it builds in your bowels until it is enough to release. Aka "going #2" if you cannot have a bowel movement however your body cannot release the waste. over time it will build and eventually make you very sick. in short you can die from no bowel movement. the toxins in your body will literally poison you. now remember this is over a quite large amount of time if you have no bowel movement over 1 or 2 days you may be just fine eat more fiber or take a laxative if problem persists. if problem passes three days see your physician immediately.

Answer 2

It is possible. You see, if you dont "poop" for a long time then you will slowly gain wait because you cannot get rid of your food. Once you gain enogh weight you could have a heartattack. Or you colon could explode if stool is not coming out.

Answer 3

No but you can faint if you hold it to long ( for 3 hours or less, unless you are a boy )

Answer 4

Only if you have multiple symptoms like mesothelioma and other illnesses

Answer 5

yes it is possible but you have to hold long

Answer 6

In a sense, yes, it can. Diarrhea can cause dehydration by expelling water involuntarily out of the body through wastes, which can kill you.

Answer 7

If by "pooping a lot" you mean dysentery or severe dehydration as the result of diarrhea, then the answer is yes.

Answer 8

Dude I have NO idea.
