Farting is basically a good thing, because the accumulation of gas in the abdomen can lead to uncomfortable swelling pain. But that doesn't mean you should ignore them completely. We need to pay attention to their frequency, smell, and if they appear with other gastrointestinal symptoms, they can provide clues to your physical condition and even indicate some potentially serious conditions [1].
Through farting, it is possible to understand the situation of the stomach and intestines, which is proven by medicine. Here are the problems you should pay attention to: no fart is not necessarily a good thing, more farts may be a bad thing, and a stinky fart may have an accident.
Some people are proud and think they never fart or rarely fart. In fact, people who can fart are healthier than people who can't fart! Some patients have said that they have not farted or shit for several days, and they have bouts of abdominal pain. After examination by the doctor, this is a precursor to intestinal obstruction, the reason is that the patient eats too much meat and exercises less during the first month, causing intra-abdominal food accumulation, gastrointestinal function obstruction, and poor detoxification.
There are also people who try to hold their farts, seemingly solving the embarrassment caused by the smelly farts, but may actually hint at some health problems. Do you know? People fart 8 to 20 times a day. Most of the time, we are completely unaware that our chrysanthemums have been quietly vented [2]. If the fart is held back regularly, it will not only increase the burden on the body, but also cause chronic poisoning of the body, causing bloating, abdominal pain, chest tightness, and even peritonitis, intestinal obstruction and other diseases.
Secondly, too much fart can not be careless. Multiple farts refer to the amount of exhaust that greatly exceeds the usual amount, for many reasons, such as indigestion, gastritis, peptic ulcer and other stomach diseases, liver, gallbladder, pancreatic diseases and so on. Indigestion is divided into functional and organic, the former is related to gastrointestinal motility dysfunction; the latter is related to intestinal inflammation, cancer and other diseases.
Multiple farts may also be ingested starchy, protein foods such as beans, potatoes, eggs, etc., or gobble up or habitual swallowing action, often swallow saliva and ingest more air. Therefore, it is recommended that the fart is not paralyzed, it is best to go to the hospital to do a check-up, clarify the reason for the fart, and then prescribe the right medicine.
In addition, if the fart is strange and smelly, it can not be sloppy, it may be indigestion, or excessive intake of meat acid food, or due to gastrointestinal bleeding, blood stagnation in the intestinal lumen caused, it may also be intestinal dysentery, amoebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhagic enteritis and other inflammation. In addition, in the advanced stage of malignancy, due to the erosion of cancerous tissue, protein corruption, due to the action of bacteria, the fart will also be very smelly. Sometimes, eating too much garlic, onions, leeks and other foods with a pungent odor can also make farts smell bad, so don't worry.
To summarize briefly:
1. If there are too many farts and the taste is very smelly, consider whether there is a problem of indigestion.
2. If there are many farts, but they do not stink, consider gastritis, peptic ulcer and other stomach problems.
3. If the fart is particularly smelly, there may be gastrointestinal bleeding, dysentery, amoebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhagic enteritis and other problems.
4. If the fart is particularly small, or does not fart at all, and at the same time has abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, hyperintestinal sounds or disappearance, air and water sound and other symptoms, to consider whether there is intestinal obstruction.
So farting is not the more the better, of course, less is also the problem, simply learn to judge the body signals released by the fart, so that you can more calmly understand your body.
