In the crowded elevator, standing next to Crush, who knows, the fart is coming, and the stomach "gurgles".
Burst... Puff... Puff puff!! and love sweep the floor together with face...
1. How does a fart come about?
Fart is a normal physiological phenomenon in people. The number of exhaust times for adults is about 5~10 times a day.
There are two main sources of fart:
1. The outside air inhaled through the mouth, such as the air that enters the gastrointestinal tract through the mouth when eating, drinking, and breathing;
2. The gas produced by the fermentation of food residues by bacteria in the intestines.
2. What are the possible reasons for too many farts?
1. Eat too much gas-producing food
Long-term intake of gas-producing foods such as beans, dairy products, onions, garlic, leeks, turnips, and cabbage may lead to increased farting. These foods produce gas when they are broken down by bacteria in the intestines.
In addition, greasy, spicy, raw and cold foods and sparkling drinks may also cause the digestive burden to increase, causing the food to stay in the intestines for too long and ferment to produce gas.
2. Eating too fast
Eating too quickly can cause food that has not been chewed enough to be swallowed with a lot of gas, which can lead to an increase in gas.
3. Intestinal flora imbalance
When the intestinal flora is dysbiosis, pathogenic bacteria may become the dominant flora, producing large amounts of gas during food digestion. This can lead to an increase in farting, and the smell of the fart may become smelly.
4. Eating drugs that increase the amount of gas
Taking certain medications, such as mosapride, morpholine, and other drugs that boost stomach motility, may increase the amount of gas. This is because these drugs are able to enhance the peristalsis function of the gastrointestinal tract, which promotes the expulsion of gas.
5. Disease
A variety of diseases can also cause increased farting. For example, gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroenteritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, etc., may affect digestive function, leading to increased farting. In addition, liver disease can also lead to increased farting, because when the liver is damaged, bile secretion decreases, affecting the process of digesting food.
Doctors from Changsha Taihe Hospital reminded that if the situation of farting persists, it is recommended to seek medical examination in time to determine the specific cause and take corresponding treatment measures. At the same time, paying attention to a reasonable diet, avoiding eating too quickly, and maintaining good lifestyle and eating habits can help improve the situation of farting too much.
3. What's the deal with the smell of fart?
Fart odor is often related to diet, people who like to eat high-protein foods such as dairy products and meat, and people who like heavy foods such as onions and garlic usually fart more and smelly.
However, if the smell of farts is particularly severe and accompanied by symptoms of gastrointestinal upset, then it is necessary to be alert to the presence of digestive problems. Here are two possible digestive problems and their symptoms:
1. The fart smells foul
If you still have a foul smell when you fart after you have ruled out dietary factors, it may mean that there is a bacterial infection in your intestines. In this case, patients usually have fever, stomach cramps, tenesmus and other symptoms. If these symptoms occur, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment.
2. The fart smells fishy
A fishy odor can be caused by bleeding from the digestive tract. When there is bleeding in the digestive tract, the blood is broken down by stomach acid and intestinal bacteria, which can lead to a bloody fishy smell when farting.
In addition, intestinal tumors can also cause fart odor with a fishy odor. Exfoliation and bleeding of cancerous tissue may make the farts smell fishy, and patients may also show symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and loss of appetite. In this case, it is necessary to be highly vigilant and seek medical attention in time for a detailed examination.
Doctors at Changsha Taihe Hospital suggest that fart odor may be a normal physiological phenomenon, but it may also be related to digestive problems. If the smell is unusually severe or accompanied by gastrointestinal discomfort, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to rule out an underlying health problem. At the same time, maintaining a good diet and lifestyle can also help reduce the occurrence of fart odor.
4. Is fart odor a sign of bowel cancer?
Farts or farts smell are not clinical symptoms of bowel cancer, let alone a necessary manifestation. If you just fart more often and no other abnormal symptoms appear, you generally don't need to be too anxious. However, if it is accompanied by the following symptoms, it is necessary to be alert to whether it is an organic disease (such as colorectal cancer, etc.):
1. Change in bowel habits
People with bowel cancer may experience diarrhoea, constipation, or alternating episodes of diarrhea and constipation, and may also have changes in stool morphology, such as thinning and flattening, which can persist for several days.
2. Fecal blood
Bowel cancer can cause blood in the stool, mainly because the tumour is rupturing. The stool is dark red in color, and there may be mucus or foul-smelling pus and bloody stools.
3. Abdominal pain
Patients with bowel cancer may experience symptoms of abdominal pain, which is often a dull pain in an uncertain location.
4. Weakness and fatigue
Patients with bowel cancer may often feel fatigue, poor spirits, inability to lift energy, and weakness of energy.
5. Sudden weight loss
In the absence of a clear cause, losing more than 5% of body weight in 6~12 months may also be a sign of bowel cancer.
5. How to make farts healthier and avoid "social death"?
1. If you want to reduce the number of farts, start by adjusting your eating habits, chew slowly when eating, and avoid gobbling up. When choosing food, try to avoid excessive intake of gas-prone foods, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. These foods tend to produce more gas during digestion, which increases the number of farts.
2. If you want to improve the freshness of your fart, the key is also to start with your diet, which can reduce the intake of high-protein foods such as red meat and soybeans, which may produce substances with pungent odors during digestion.
In addition, reducing the consumption of vegetables with pungent odors, such as onions and white radish, can also help improve the smell of farts. It is also important to maintain a good intake of fluids. Drinking plenty of water helps keep the intestines open, promotes waste excretion, and reduces the accumulation of harmful substances, which may improve the smell of fart. Walking around properly after meals can also help promote gastrointestinal motility, help digest food, and reduce farting problems.
If the fart is abnormal and the tendency to have a disease is detected, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time, find out the cause through stool routine, gastrointestinal endoscopy, etc., and treat the symptoms.
