Uncle Tian heard his wife complaining about himself, and he was also very aggrieved, he is 56 years old this year, and his body is occasionally uncomfortable, and it is embarrassing to keep farting, but he can't control this physiological reaction!

1. What are the effects of always farting on the body?
Has anyone ever wondered if the fart we secretly expelled from our body is just gas? The answer is no. The main components of farts are nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The physiological process of farting is a way for the gastrointestinal flora to promote the body's metabolism.
Be aware that if the smell is stinky and too frequent when you pass gas, understand that your gut may be "signaling" you.
Moreover, frequent farting can also bring physical discomfort. The initial effect may be abdominal bloating. This is because the process of frequent farting can lead to excessive accumulation of intestinal gas, which in turn can cause bloating. Bloating may also be accompanied by abdominal discomfort or pain, as well as symptoms such as bloating and hiccups.
In severe cases, it will directly manifest as abdominal pain, because frequent farting will cause increased pressure in the intestines, stimulate the contraction of intestinal smooth muscles, and cause abdominal pain. The type of pain may be sudden cramping or a constant, dull ache that may be concentrated in the lower abdomen, around the umbilicus, etc.
Finally, diarrhea may occur in the body, as frequent farting may be associated with certain gastrointestinal disorders, such as bacillary dysentery and cholera, which can lead to gastrointestinal disorders that can lead to diarrhea. Diarrhea is usually accompanied by increased frequency of bowel movements, loose stools, watery stools, and may cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
Second, these 3 types of people should pay more attention when farting
In daily life, farting is a situation that everyone encounters, it can help us relieve flatulence and adjust the intestinal environment. However, there are people who are not suitable for farting. For example, if you have a severe anal disorder, farting may cause pain or discomfort or even worsen the condition. So, who exactly should be more careful when farting?
1. Patients after abdominal surgery
After abdominal surgery, the patient's gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered, and strenuous exercise or excessive eating at this time can easily cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Such people who engage in the above behaviors within a short period of time after surgery may aggravate their condition and be detrimental to their health.
2. Patients with antipathy
In patients with intestinal obstruction, the bowel is narrowed or blocked, and the gas may increase the pressure at the site of the obstruction, leading to increased pain and even perforation. If such people fart forcibly, it will aggravate the condition, and in severe cases, it can lead to intestinal necrosis.
3. Patients with transal infection
There may be inflammation or infectious disease, at which point farting may irritate the damaged mucous membranes, worsening symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. If such people fart during this period, it will lead to aggravation of the disease, which is not conducive to the treatment and recovery of the disease.
3. 4 small tricks, lightning avoidance "fart" embarrassment
Fart is something that everyone goes through, and it plays an important role in a lot of the time. For example, when we are watching a movie, if we suddenly fart, it may cause laughter from the audience and become a small episode in the movie. But in some social situations, farting can cause embarrassment and even affect relationships. How can we adjust to reduce this awkward situation?
Method 1: Dietary modification
Excessive intake of gas-prone foods such as beans, onions, etc., can lead to bloating and frequent farting. In daily life, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and moderate intake of foods that are not easy to produce gas, such as green leafy vegetables and whole wheat bread.
Method 2: Exercise after meals
Sitting or lying down immediately after a meal may cause stomach indigestion, which in turn can trigger bloating and frequent farting. Proper exercise can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve the above uncomfortable symptoms. However, strenuous exercise should be avoided to avoid aggravating the condition.
Method 3: Wear loose-fitting clothing
Leggings can increase pressure in the abdomen, affect blood circulation, and may lead to poor gas. Choosing loose, comfortable pants can help reduce pressure on your abdomen and improve the discomfort described above.
Method 4: Maintain good bowel habits
Holding your bowel movements for a long time will prevent the gas produced in your body from being discharged in time, resulting in bloating and frequent farting. Developing the habit of regular bowel movements can help prevent constipation and reduce bloating and frequent farting.
Xiao Jiu suggests that you should pay attention to whether your body has the risk of digestive diseases in time in your life. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for appropriate treatment.
