Holding it could be deadly [View all]
Putting off going to the toilet can create of a shit traffic jam of biblical proportions in your intestines.
"These stools dry out, block your system and can sometimes lead to an impacted bowel. This can cause circulation problems, heart problems, cramping, a distended gut and a lot of pain.
Sometimes, surgery is required to fix the problem. If left untreated, it could prove fatal."
