Urinary incontinence isn’t really that big of a deal. I mean, it’s pretty normal for people to lose control of their bladder when they’re nervous. But fecal incontinence? That’s a whole different story, and a lot more troublesome.
This was a clear sign that Zhao Rui had lost control over his own body—which meant something was definitely wrong somewhere.
Qin Jiang handed Zhao Rui a set of disposable hospital clothes and said to him, “Go to the restroom and change into these. After that, I’ll take you for a full checkup.”
The moment they saw their son had pooped himself right in front of so many people, both parents felt utterly humiliated and embarrassed.
Sure, Zhao Rui couldn’t peel a boiled egg, but he’d always been able to use the bathroom on his own! What was going on here? How did this happen?
Without wasting a second, Zhao’s mother quickly led him to the restroom.
The viewers in the livestream were absolutely stunned.
“Why is his mom taking him to the restroom to change? Shouldn’t his dad be helping him out?”
“Look at his dad’s attitude—that look of pure disgust on his face. Do you really think he’d help his own son change his pants?”
“I know his mom’s love can be a bit suffocating, but I have to give her credit—at least she doesn’t look down on her own son. There’s real love there. But his dad? Honestly, he’s just despicable.”
Zhao’s father didn’t even try to hide his disgust toward his son—it was written all over his face.
Under Qin Jiang’s direction, he finally went to fetch a bucket of water and carried it into the restroom, intending for Zhao’s mother to give their son a good clean-up so he wouldn’t dirty the new hospital gown as well.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Rui emerged from the restroom in a fresh set of clothes.
Qin Jiang took him into the examination room and ran a series of tests.
When Qin Jiang got his hands on the EEG results, his brow immediately furrowed.
Seeing the unusual expression on Qin Jiang’s face, Zhao’s mother quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Dr. Qin? What exactly is wrong with my son?”
Qin Jiang said in a grave tone, “Based on the test results, your son’s brainwave data is abnormal. That means his mental state is highly unstable, and his mood swings are severe.”
“Looking at the other physical exam reports, your son also has significant gastrointestinal issues.”
“I believe this is related to the academic pressure he’s under. My recommendation is that he take a semester off from school—stay home, rest properly, and relax.”
But as soon as they heard the words “take a semester off,” the parents immediately refused.
“No way! Absolutely not!”
“We’ve made it through over a decade of this—there’s only this last year left! How could we possibly take a break now?”
“Exactly! Once he takes a break, his current study rhythm will be broken, and then all those years of effort will have been for nothing!”
“Look, we don’t even need you to cure him completely. Whatever the problem is, just prescribe some medication to keep it under control for now. After the college entrance exams are over, we’ll deal with it properly—does that work?”
The viewers in the livestream were completely baffled by the couple’s reaction.
“What’s the big deal? It’s just taking a semester off, not dropping out altogether. Why are they getting so worked up?”
“Right? He can always go back and take the exams later, can’t he? It’s just a slight delay. These parents are completely unhinged.”
“Actually, I kind of get their concern. Taking a break and then going back to school can really affect a student’s performance—you’d have new teachers, new classmates, and all your old friends would already be in college. Mentally, that’s tough to handle.”
“But even if it affects his studies, shouldn’t their child’s health come first? These parents are just something else.”
The couple kept pressing Qin Jiang to just prescribe some medication to manage the symptoms for now.
But just then—Zhao Rui’s pants were wet again.
Seeing this, the parents were on the verge of a breakdown.
“What’s wrong with you, kid?! How did you poop yourself again?!”
“Don’t you have a brain? Don’t you know when you need to go to the bathroom?!”
Zhao Rui stood there with a terrified look on his face, but his body still kept losing control—he just kept going.
To avoid dirtying the floor, his mother immediately rushed him back to the restroom.
Qin Jiang handed her another fresh set of hospital clothes.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Rui came out again—but this time, his gaze was even more vacant, almost dazed and foolish.
Both parents were furious, feeling like their son had completely embarrassed them today.
Qin Jiang took Zhao Rui’s pulse once more, then said gravely, “Your son’s condition right now is beyond what medication alone can control.”
“If he doesn’t get proper treatment, there’s absolutely no way he’ll be able to take the college entrance exams.”
Hearing this, the couple suddenly became anxious.
“Dr. Qin, do you know what’s wrong with my son?”
Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.
“Pay first, then treat. Include the two sets of hospital clothes from earlier—total comes to 6,700 yuan.”
As long as it meant curing their son and keeping him on track for the exams, the parents were willing to spend whatever it took.
They whipped out their phones and scanned the code to pay immediately.
Ding.
[Detected that the host spoke frankly to the patient, revealing the patient’s hidden condition and greatly assisting them. Mission complete.]
[Congratulations, host! Reward received: Banlong Pills.]
After paying, the parents quickly asked, “Dr. Qin, so what exactly is wrong with our son?”
Qin Jiang said calmly, “Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”
“Huh?”
The parents looked utterly confused.
“What on earth is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?”
Qin Jiang explained patiently, “This is a complex condition. Based on type, it’s mainly divided into diarrhea-predominant, constipation-predominant, mixed, and unclassified.”
“And without a doubt, Zhao Rui’s case falls under the diarrhea-predominant type.”
“In simple terms, it means that when the patient is exposed to certain triggers, it easily leads to intestinal diarrhea.”
“For example, some people get diarrhea from drinking cold water, some from having cold air blow on their stomach, and others from drinking milk—all of these fall under Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”
“But Zhao Rui’s case is special—and more severe. He seems to get diarrhea when he’s nervous, and it’s the kind he simply can’t control.”
Whether it’s drinking cold water or milk, both do have a certain degree of irritation to the intestines. It’s just that most people can tolerate that irritation and regulate themselves.
After all, many people in our country are lactose intolerant, and the most common sign of lactose intolerance is needing to use the bathroom shortly after drinking milk.
But the difference between that and IBS is that IBS hits much harder and much faster.
In Zhao Rui’s case—uncontrollable, happening anytime, anywhere—his condition is naturally far more serious.
Qin Jiang said very sternly, “I’ll say it again: if you keep Zhao Rui in a constant state of high mental tension, then at any moment, something like what just happened could happen again.”
“Do you really think, in this state, he can live and study normally—let alone take the college entrance exams?”
