Does farting often affect your health?
Farting is to expel waste from the human body, so farting has no effect on health. Why do people fart? Because the intestine has been crawling, as long as the peristalsis exists, gas will be discharged from the anus and fart.

The amount of fart is related to people's food composition and cooking habits. Some people like to eat raw onions, onions, ginger, raw garlic, potatoes, sweets, bean products and pasta. Because these foods contain substrates that can produce a lot of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other gases, they tend to be manic and fart after eating. The amount of fart is also related to the strength of human digestive function. When indigestion occurs, intestinal bacteria ferment rapidly, which is easy to produce gas and make people fart.

A normal person farts 5- 10 times a day, and the total gas volume will be about 500 ml. Generally speaking, the more fragrant you eat (such as meat and various fried foods), the more smelly your fart will be.

Why is there gas in the digestive tract? This is because when people eat food, due to the role of normal flora in the digestive tract, they will produce more gas. These gases move downward with the peristalsis of the intestine and are discharged from the anus. When it is discharged, due to the action of anal sphincter, noise sometimes occurs. Therefore, farting is a manifestation of the normal operation of the intestine. On the contrary, if you don't fart, or fart too much and stink, that's an abnormal phenomenon.

1. Fart increased

Sometimes the fart is related to Otawa eating too many starchy foods, such as sweets, sweet potatoes and potatoes sold in the market. People who eat more pasta fart more, which makes the intestinal cavity produce too much gas, resulting in more fart and more feces. At this time, we should reduce starchy foods and increase protein and vegetable foods to achieve a balanced diet.

2. Farting stinks

Farting in front of people is the most indecent. There are two kinds of stinky farts. First, the stool is thin, and the fart shit released has a strong smell. When the stool is discharged, the fart will not be put. From this point of view, "Fart is shit head" makes sense. Second, the fart smell is particularly strong and stinks like rotten eggs. This is due to eating too much protein food, resulting in food stuck in the intestine. After the food in protein is decomposed in the digestive tract, amines are produced, and amines have this odor. The solution is to reduce the amount of food, especially food containing protein.

Step 3 don't fart

If you don't fart for a long time, it means the problem is serious. Newborns don't fart, so we should check whether it is anorectal or anal hypoplasia. Adults don't fart, and the abdomen bulges like a drum, indicating abdominal flatulence. It is necessary to consider whether there are problems in the anus and rectum, such as inflammation, tumor, constipation, hemorrhoids and so on. If necessary, intubate and exhaust the anus. Suffering from intussusception, volvulus and intestinal obstruction, I have no fart because my fart is blocked by my intestines.

If you don't fart and have severe colic, you must go to the hospital as an emergency. In addition, peritonitis caused by gastric perforation and appendicitis can harden the abdomen, cause severe pain, and also can not fart.
