Dajiang Net/Dajiang News Client News 27-year-old Xiaolu (pseudonym) is a white-collar worker in a company. No matter what she eats, she always farts a lot, especially in the elevator, which makes herself very embarrassed. Recently, she found that in addition to a lot of farts, she also often had diarrhea and abdominal pain, but she thought it was because she ate too spicy food, which caused gastrointestinal discomfort, so she didn’t care. After her parents found out about Xiaomin’s abnormality, they immediately sent her to the hospital. After colonoscopy and CT, the pathological results showed that the colon cancer was stage III.
Many people would say that farting is an embarrassing thing that everyone has experienced. How can fart cause such a serious condition? Director Wu Hongchun of Nanchang Fengyi Anorectal Hospital introduced: Occasional farting is physiological and harmless. However, excessively frequent farting is not necessarily a trivial matter! Drinking water and eating is always indispensable in daily life, and it is easy to mix some gas in the process. After the gas mixed in the body enters the stomach, it can stimulate the parietal plexus and phrenic nerves of the stomach, causing hiccups and expelling the air from the stomach. But burping can only expel a part of the gas, and the other part is accumulated in the stomach. Another part of the gas enters the intestines, forming intestinal gas. Our farts are this part of the intestines.
Director Wu Hongchun of Nanchang Fengyi Anorectal Hospital explained that at present, no research has confirmed the close relationship between excessive fart and bowel cancer, but in some specific cases, bowel cancer does lead to an increase in fart production. A common symptom of many people with colorectal cancer is frequent farting, but in addition to this symptom, patients will also show abdominal pain and obvious weight loss. The shape of the stool and the regularity of defecation will have an impact. It needs a comprehensive reason to be considered. Not colorectal cancer.
We can understand this, if a person just increases the number of farts and the body does not have other abnormal reactions, then it is not usually caused by colorectal cancer. Most of our human body’s gastrointestinal digestion is completed by the beneficial bacteria in the colon. If we eat irregularly recently, the bacteria in the colon will overgrow and flow into the small intestine for a long time, which will cause the food to return. In the future, if it is digested in time, it will be exposed to gas in advance, so the imbalance of intestinal bacteria will also lead to an increase in the frequency of farting.
Two warning lights for bowel cancer should pay attention to:
1. Changes in bowel habits and shape: more typically, constipation and diarrhea occur alternately, usually one or two bowel movements a day, but now Several times a day, and sometimes constipation, sometimes diarrhea, alternately, this time to be careful not to have cancer.
2. Blood in the stool: Blood in the stool is one of the typical symptoms of colon cancer. Rectal tumors are often smeared and bleeding when the stool is in the stool. However, hemorrhoids can also occur when bleeding, but blood in the stool is bright red and floats on the surface of the stool. It is different from bleeding hemorrhoids. Patients with this condition must be tested as soon as possible.
Nanchang Fengyi Anorectal Hospital teaches you how to avoid frequent farting:
1. People who often fart are recommended to eat small and frequent meals, do not overeating, when eating, It is advisable to chew slowly, so as not to eat too much air together, and foods that are easy to produce gas should also be avoided.
2. Reduce starchy foods and increase protein and vegetable foods to achieve a balanced diet.
3. Eat as little gas-producing food as possible, such as cabbage, celery, leeks, soybeans, and peas.
4. Drink a cup of yogurt every day to help change the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
5. Sleep on your side more often. If you still have gas after adjusting your eating habits, you should consider gastrointestinal problems, such as enteritis, cold stomach (good blood circulation in the stomach, low temperature), indigestion, etc., and you should go to the hospital in time.
