If there is something wrong in your body, your farts will tell you that you have a disease. People who fart a lot, please pay attention. Be alert if you have these four symptoms!

Mr. Zhang, a middle-aged career elite, has been busy with work for a long time, with irregular diet and chaotic work and rest. Recently, he found that he farted more and more often, and was often accompanied by abdominal discomfort. At first, he thought it was just a minor problem and didn't take it seriously. But as time went on, the symptoms became more and more serious, and even began to affect his work and quality of life. By chance, Mr. Zhang went to the hospital for a check-up at the suggestion of a friend, and was diagnosed with indigestion caused by an imbalance of intestinal flora. This experience made Mr. Zhang deeply realize that farting, a seemingly insignificant physiological phenomenon, is actually a barometer of intestinal health. In daily life, many people have had similar experiences, but they ignore the warning signals from the body due to lack of relevant knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary for us to have a deep understanding of the relationship between farting and intestinal health, and learn to capture the clues of health from the details of farting.

1. Farting and health: analysis of the “language” of the intestines

1. The physiological mechanism of farting

Farting is a normal physiological phenomenon of the human body. It is the process of intestinal gas being discharged through the anus.

These gases are mainly composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane and a small amount of hydrogen sulfide.

Under normal circumstances, the human body farts about 5-15 times a day, but the specific number varies from person to person and is affected by many factors such as diet and digestive function.

2. Analysis of possible causes of frequent farting

Dietary factors:

Eating too much gas-producing food, such as beans, onions, sweet potatoes, broccoli, etc., will increase the production of gas in the intestines, leading to more frequent farts.

In addition, carbonated drinks, beer and other carbonated drinks will also increase the frequency of farting.

indigestion:

When the gastrointestinal function is weakened or too much difficult-to-digest food is consumed, the food stays in the intestines for too long and is broken down by bacteria to produce more gas, causing more farting.

Imbalance of intestinal flora:

The ratio of beneficial bacteria to harmful bacteria in the intestines is unbalanced. The increase of harmful bacteria will produce more gas, leading to frequent farting.

Intestinal diseases:

Certain intestinal diseases such as enteritis, intestinal obstruction, intestinal tumors, etc. may also cause abnormal increase or decrease in farts.

2. Beware! Four dangerous signs of frequent farts

1. Abdominal pain and bloating

Frequent flatulence accompanied by persistent abdominal pain and bloating may be a sign of intestinal inflammation or obstruction.

At this time, the gas in the intestine cannot be discharged normally and accumulates in the intestine, causing discomfort.

If symptoms continue to worsen, you should seek medical attention promptly to rule out the possibility of intestinal disease.

2. Farting with blood

Farting with blood or mucus may be a sign of intestinal bleeding or inflammation.

Especially when the blood is bright red, you should be highly alert to the possibility of intestinal tumors.

At this time, you should seek medical attention in time for a colonoscopy to confirm the diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures.

3. Abnormal fart odor

Under normal circumstances, the smell of farts is unpleasant but tolerable.

If the smell of your farts suddenly becomes unusually pungent and unpleasant, it may be a sign of an increase in harmful bacteria in the intestines or indigestion of food.

Especially when the fart has a strong rotten smell, you should be alert to the occurrence of serious diseases such as intestinal infection or necrotic enteritis.

At this time, you should seek medical help from a professional doctor in time.

4. Farting decreases or disappears

In contrast to frequent farting, if the frequency of farting suddenly decreases or even disappears and is accompanied by symptoms such as constipation and bloating, it may be a sign of serious diseases such as intestinal obstruction.

At this time, the gas in the intestine cannot be discharged normally, causing abdominal distension and discomfort.

You should seek medical attention immediately for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.

Three: A comprehensive guide to protecting intestinal health

1. Eat a balanced diet

Maintaining a balanced and varied diet and consuming adequate dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals can help promote intestinal motility and digestion and maintain intestinal health.

Reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar, and spicy foods to avoid increasing the burden on the intestines.

Increasing the proportion of foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, can help improve the intestinal environment and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

2. Regular work and rest schedule and adequate sleep

Ensuring adequate sleep and avoiding staying up late and overwork can help regulate the body's endocrine and immune functions and maintain intestinal health.

Good work and rest habits help the body's organs to function and repair normally and reduce the risk of intestinal diseases.

3. Exercise moderately to enhance physical fitness

Regular and moderate physical exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc. can help promote gastrointestinal motility and blood circulation, strengthen physical fitness and improve immunity.

Exercise can also promote intestinal peristalsis, accelerate the excretion of food residues and reduce the accumulation of harmful substances in the intestines.

4. Regular physical examinations to detect early

Regular intestinal health examinations such as colonoscopy and stool routine tests can help detect and treat intestinal diseases in a timely manner.

Especially for high-risk groups such as those with a family history of genetic diseases, long-term constipation or diarrhea and other symptoms, more attention should be paid to intestinal health checks to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

5. Adjust your mentality and stay happy

Long-term mental stress and anxiety can have adverse effects on the intestines, leading to intestinal dysfunction and decreased immunity.

Therefore, maintaining a good mentality and emotional management are equally important for intestinal health.

Relieving stress and keeping a happy mood by participating in social activities, cultivating hobbies, etc. can help maintain intestinal health.

Pay attention to intestinal health, starting with "farts"

The intestinal tract is an important digestive and absorptive organ of the human body, and its health is directly related to our overall quality of life. By paying attention to the daily physiological phenomenon of farting, we can promptly detect and prevent the occurrence of intestinal diseases. Therefore, let us pay attention to intestinal health from today, and start from adjusting the diet structure, regular work and rest, moderate exercise, regular physical examinations, etc. to comprehensively protect our intestinal defense line. Remember that health is no small matter. Any abnormal symptoms may be a distress signal from the body. It is wise to seek medical treatment in time!
