The weather is getting warmer, the night food stalls are booming again, drinking beer and skewers have become the standard for some people's leisure, and at this time, digestive problems have also entered a high incidence period. Doctors remind us that observing the exhaust situation can help us understand the health of the stomach and even the whole body in time.
Exhaust gas can reflect the status of digestive function
In traditional Chinese medicine, the "arrow qi", that is, exhaust, commonly known as fart, is a normal physiological response of the human body, and it is also a health "observation station" that cannot be ignored.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the arrow qi is the mirror of the spleen. The spleen is mainly transported, which has the function of digesting, absorbing and transporting nutrients, and at the same time excretes turbidity from the body by exhausting. In addition, the spleen qi mainly rises, and the stomach qi mainly descends, if the rise and fall are out of harmony, it will affect the normal discharge of the arrow qi.
Be vigilant when there is no or little exhaust
Absent or little flatus, accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and hyperactive or absent bowel sounds, should be alert to possible intestinal obstruction. If it is also accompanied by severe intestinal colic, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
What causes more exhaust?
Eating patterns
If you eat too quickly or talk while eating, a large amount of gas can enter your digestive tract when swallowed, causing you to pass too much gas.
Food reasons
Higher intake of some foods may increase gas: foods high in starch such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and foods rich in crude fiber, such as grains, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables.
constipation
Food stays in the intestines for a long time, and the decomposition and fermentation of bacteria will increase the amount of gas.
Abnormal secretion of digestive juices
Patients with acute gastroenteritis, chronic gastritis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, liver cirrhosis and other diseases may have abnormal secretion of digestive juices, weakened digestion and absorption function of the stomach and intestines, and food staying in the intestine for too long, which will lead to increased gas.
Tip: If there is an abnormally high frequency of exhaust gas and frequent attacks, it should be taken seriously and go to the hospital if necessary.
Emotional factors
Anxiety can cause gastrointestinal disorders, leading to gas, indigestion, and excessive gas.
When these two odors appear in the exhaust, it should be taken seriously
If there is a frequent smell of stinky fish or blood in the exhaust, it should be taken seriously, and it may be caused by intestinal infection, intestinal tumor and other diseases.
The intestinal tract is infected by bacteria, the intestinal mucosa is destroyed, and the necrotic intestinal mucosa will release a strong odor, resulting in a rancid smell of gas. In patients with intestinal tumors, bleeding from the intestines can lead to a bloody smell of gas.
What other factors will be
Causing the exhaust to smell stronger?
Food reasons
Foods with pungent odors such as onions, garlic, and leeks, foods with a regulating effect such as white radish, and foods with high protein and fat content such as meat, etc., may cause the smell of exhaust to become heavier if you eat too much.
constipation
Food debris stays in the intestine for too long, which leads to fermentation and spoilage, which increases the odor of exhaust.
The exhaust also has a virtual and real cold and heat
There is also a distinction between virtual and real, cold and hot. How hot the real fart is, how much real the hot fart is, how empty the cold fart is, how cold the false fart is. Generally, hot farts and real farts are more smelly, and virtual farts and cold farts do not smell or smell less.
