Fart is something that people do every day, because people need to eat every day, and this will contain carbohydrates, which will be digested and broken down after entering the intestines, and then absorbed, in the process of producing a large amount of gas, which needs to be excreted through fart.
Normally, everyone farts 10-20 times a day, and if it exceeds this amount, it is possible that there is something abnormal in the body. Is it true that some people associate frequent farting with intestinal cancer, and think that suffering from bowel cancer will cause people to let out stinky farts frequently?
The answer is yes.
Bowel cancer does cause repeated stinky farts, and it is important to know that fart, as a product of human digestion and metabolism, has a certain odor just like stool.
If you find that frequent farting or fart smell is very strong, the first thing to consider is that it is caused by three factors: recent constipation, sulfur in the food you eat, or abnormal intestinal conditions.
The first two cases usually only need to solve the problem of constipation or after a period of time to make this situation disappear, but after the abnormal condition of the intestine will make the person have frequent fart phenomenon, only after the patient has been effectively treated, the symptoms of frequent fart will disappear after the condition has improved.
Therefore, if you find that you have frequent stinky farts, accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital for colonoscopy, which is likely to cause a tumor in the intestine, and the tumor will invade and compress the local tissues and nerves when it grows rapidly, resulting in an increase in the number of farts, and symptoms such as constipation or diarrhea and abdominal pain will also occur.
Here are three kinds of stinky farts to be wary of!
1. The smell of the gutter
If the intestinal tract is infected with bacteria, the patient may have abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms, and may discharge a fart that smells like a drain odor, so if you go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, you will not have frequent diarrhea that will lead to dehydration.
Second, the fart of the smell of rotten flesh
If you smell a smell of rotting flesh in the fart, you should be alert to amoebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis and other diseases.
Among them, amoebic dysentery is mostly caused by the body being infected with amoebic parasites, and patients will not only have frequent farting, but also abdominal pain, diarrhea, chills, high fever and other symptoms. Ulcerative colitis is primarily an immune disease in which patients not only fart repeatedly, but also have diarrhea with bloody stools overnight.
3. Fishy and smelly fart
When bleeding occurs in the digestive tract of a patient, the blood will be broken down by stomach acid and intestinal flora, resulting in a bloody smell that mixes with the smell of the fart itself and becomes a fishy odor.
At the same time, the stool excreted by the patient will also become tarry. If there is a tumor in the patient's intestine, the intestinal mucosa will also emit a fishy smell when the intestinal mucosa is erosed, flaking, and bleeding.
If you find that you frequently release the above three smelly farts, it is best to go to the hospital in time and do not delay the condition.
I would also like to remind everyone that although farting is an unsightly behavior, farting is a normal physiological need, and there is no need for people to hold their farts for a long time, so as not to affect intestinal function and their own health.
