Why am I NEVER done POOPing? | Dr. Chung explains!

The older you get, the more your life revolves around poop.

This guy is so sweet, wishing everyone’s butts well and swift healing. 😂

Five minutes to do the business, 15 minutes to watch YouTube videos, and five more minutes just to make sure you were right the first time

Short version: Nerves in the butt detect pressure (among other things), but can't tell the difference between pressure from swelling and pressure from actual poop. Also, the colon is constantly pushing more poop, a little at a time, into the rectum. If you sit on the toilet for too long, your hemorrhoids will get more and more inflamed, even if there's no more poop. If you sit long enough, you may also periodically poop out smaller amounts of increasingly liquid poop that is always coming from the colon (but which hasn't had the chance to dry out in the rectum yet), all the while inflaming your hemorrhoids even more, leading to a painful, leaky butt once you finally do get up. So get your business done and get off the toilet quickly, even if it feels like you could maybe poop some more.

Best doctor ever- wish we could clone him for all over the Earth. Thanks so much for helping.

Why can't all Dr's be this great?

Thank you so much for the very issue that I’ve had many times with answers. 89 yrs. Old. Never too old to learn.

I really really like this guy's energy. He has such a soothing voice

This dude is the happiest adult I've seen talking a boot pooping 💩!

Dr. Chung, I know you don't mean to be funny but you are HILARIOUS in a professional and wry manner. Thank you for cracking me up and giving me great information.

This is a better explanation than any doctor I’ve asked about it or anything I’ve found from internet searching

I know I’m done pooping once I tinkle a bit more. No matter the stomach problems I’m having that always tricks my brain into absolutely believing I’m well emptied.

I always have more to go. It just won't come out all at once

Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you for being frank and honest and for normalizing talking about something that we all do but never talk about even when we need to. And for being approachable and funny while you’re at it.

I must say that the absence of clipped pauses is refreshing. You speak naturally and actually take breaths. Excellent videos.

This used to be such a problem for me when I had a bad diet; eating a healthy amount of fruit and veg to get lots of fiber and not over-eating has resolved this issue for me

You are such a friendly doctor.... Thank you for that and make us feel so at ease!!!! More doctors should take your example😊We live in Italy and wish that our doctors here could be like you are, Dr. Chung.... Happy new year 2022 and God bless you for the beautiful "mission" to are doing for everyone.

You are amazing Dr. Thank you for making a extremely difficult topic so easy to understand. God bless you. I'm 80 next month and your advice is helping me so much.💕🕊

Dr.chung I What found your channel a few days ago. I want to tell you how much you made my life so much better and made my hemorrhoids be at peace with me instead hating me can’t begin to tell you how happy I am everything you’ve told me in the video does work if you just give it a chance, thank you so much even when I went to my own doctor, I never could find the words to say the problems I’m having watching you do it in such a way you make me very comfortable to talk about li I found several things I do wrong. I change them and it changes almost instant. Thanks again and please keep up the great work.

Love this guy. Such a service to me and, I'm sure, millions of others. Thank you, Dr. Chung. You are an asset to my life.
