What is the reason why women fart a lot? What causes smelly farts?

Women often hold back their farts because they are shy. They always think that their image is important, so they hold it in even when they want to fart. If you hold in your farts, it will affect your body's metabolism, cause abdominal bloating and gastrointestinal diseases, and even cause dry skin and freckles.

Causes of excessive farting

Excessive farting may also be caused by consuming too much starch, protein and irritating foods (such as beans, potatoes, large amounts of milk, eggs, garlic, onions and leeks, etc.), or eating too fast. People who habitually swallow too much may also fart frequently due to taking in too much air. These are not pathological and do not require treatment. They only suggest that you should adjust your eating habits. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, which can be divided into two main parts:

One reason is due to diet. If the human body consumes too much acidic food, such as soy products, peanuts, etc., or some laxative foods, it will produce too much gas during metabolism, causing frequent farting. Especially for legumes, because the human body lacks the necessary enzymes to fully digest the polysaccharides in legumes, it will release this "weapon of mass destruction". If you do not eat these foods and still fart too much, it may be a problem with your digestive system, such as gastritis, enteritis, etc.

The second is the gas swallowed when the mouth makes swallowing movements. Especially some people who like to talk while eating will swallow more gas in the process of swallowing food than those who talk less or not at all. Therefore, the ancient saying "don't talk while eating" does make sense.

Farts stink

It is most indecent to fart in front of everyone. There are two situations of smelly farts. One is that the stool is loose and the farts have a strong odor. If the stool is discharged, the farts will stop. From this point of view, the saying "fart is the head of shit" makes sense. Second, the fart smells extremely strong, just like rotten eggs. This is because eating too much protein food causes food retention in the intestines. When retained protein food is broken down in the digestive tract, amines are produced, which are the cause of this foul smell. The solution is to reduce the amount of food you eat, especially the amount of protein-containing foods.
