What Causes An Urge To Defecate With Changes In Air Temperature?
I have been having this weird thing for the past 3 years. Everytime a cold/ warm air hits my body I get the urge to poop. I don't know why.. Even if I didn't eat anything for a week but as soon as air hits me I feel that I want to poop, Also I used to run daily, but whenever I look at my clothes thinking I wanna run my stomche acts crazy at the same moment I think of running. I don't even waie my shorts.. Is this nervousness? Note:I have been diagnosed before with colon and I feel nervous a lot that I shake
I noted the history about your nervousness that also causes shaking a lot, feeling of going for a poop the moment you are exposed to cold/warm air, on thinking of running and so on. Yes, this is weird indeed. But the possible explanations are: That you are suffering from severe form of IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome, the exposure to hot/cold air acting as a trigger.Also the thinking of running acting as the stress and/or anxiety trigger.
I would advise you the following:
- Consult a Gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation and examination and get the tests of blood, urine, stool, CT scan of abdomen and colonoscopy to rule out any organic disease that mimics the problems you are facing.
- IF one is found we shall be happy get a proper diagnosis and thus give you a proper treatment. If all the tests are negative, treatment on the lines of IBS should solve your problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. T Chandrakant
