In the pelvic clinic of Stanford University, people with colon problems are not recommended to squat ... but it is necessary. The reason is also very simple: your large intestine, about 1.8 meters long, stops here before it is eliminated, and is finally excreted from the rectum. The puborectalis muscle supports the rectum to avoid incontinence. When defecating in a sitting position, the muscles are only partially relaxed; When squatting and defecating, the muscles are completely relaxed. This defecation is not only easier, but also more thorough.
