What is the reason for farting so much? Do you fart often?

Farting is something that happens to people every day and is very normal. But did you know that farting too much is not good? This is because you have eaten starchy foods or have intestinal problems. Please see below to determine which one you are.

1. What is the reason for having so many farts?

Normal intestinal peristalsis can lead to the discharge of intestinal gas. Some people have more active intestinal peristalsis and more gas-producing bacteria in the intestines, which will lead to more anal gas discharge.

People with constipation are also prone to excessive anal gas discharge, which usually has an unpleasant odor. This is due to the long-term accumulation of intestinal contents in the colon and the decomposition and gas production by putrefactive bacteria. Farting a lot is a disease. If the farts are very smelly, it is due to the spleen and stomach being cold, which has caused the qi to sink. Generally, hot compresses or drinking ginger soup will quickly show the effect. If you fart a lot but not too smelly, have a sour taste, and have loose stools, it means that your lower abdomen is cold and there is a high possibility of enteritis. You can take gentamicin orally plus Buzhong Yiqi Pills, and avoid eating raw or cold food.

2. The benefits of fart

Farting can expel waste gas from the intestines out of the body, so it is good for the health of the person who farts.

When observing and treating patients with intestinal obstruction, doctors always ask the patients whether they fart, as one of the important bases for determining whether the intestinal obstruction has been relieved. More generally, doctors use this to determine whether the intestines are unobstructed after abdominal surgery. Patients usually do not fart within one to two days after abdominal surgery. This is because the intestines are temporarily anesthetized due to the effects of anesthetic drugs, surgical operations, and the stimulation of cold air entering the abdominal cavity. When a doctor is examining a patient after abdominal surgery, if he hears the patient say that he has farted, it means that intestinal motility has recovered and the gastrointestinal decompression tube can be removed and the patient can start eating. If you are still unable to fart a few days after surgery, this is often due to intestinal paralysis. Intestinal paralysis and intestinal flatulence may lead to adverse consequences such as intestinal adhesion, intestinal blood circulation disorders, and anastomotic rupture.

3. The Disadvantages of Farts

Clinically, some patients with abdominal organ infections often complain of bloating and frequent farts. The amount is also related to the strength of a person's digestive function. If you have abdominal bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, or even weight loss, you should consider whether you have underlying malabsorption or even intestinal cancer. Farts themselves are full of bacteria, so to people around the farter, farts are "poisonous gas" containing countless bacteria, which may be harmful to their health.
