“I often fart, almost 10 times a day. I heard from others that my liver is bad, is it true?”
The day before yesterday, the backstage received a private message from a fan asking about farting Mostly because of liver problems. Farting is a physiological phenomenon, but it often causes embarrassment. Does frequent farting really mean that the liver is calling for help?
1. I always fart, does it have anything to do with my liver?
All say no fart Stinky, stinky farts don’t make a sound. What’s in the fart?
The composition of fart includes 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 3% oxygen, and these odorless gases account for 99%. The remaining 1% includes hydrogen sulfide, indole (a type of skatole). And these two humble 1% give fart an indescribable taste.
Farting is a physiological phenomenon, but excessive farting may be related to the following factors
1. Poor diet
The number of farts is strongly related to eating habits and eating speed. If you eat too much gas-producing food in your daily life, such as soy products, eggs, spicy food, milk, etc., it will lead to an increase in farting. Eating too fast, as a lot of gas enters the mouth, may also affect intestinal digestion and increase the frequency of farting.
2. Gastrointestinal dysfunction
Gastrointestinal dysfunction may also cause excessive farting. For patients with gastroenteritis and colitis, when the food cannot be absorbed in time, a large amount of unpleasant gas will be stored in the body.
3. Constipation
People with long-term constipation problems, the stool cannot be discharged in time, and the long-term Accumulation near the anus will lead to a large accumulation of gas, which will increase the number of farts.
Many people believe that the liver is the metabolic organ of the human body, and the increased frequency of farting is also associated with poor liver. Wang Baojian, Department of Pathology, Qingdao West Coast New Area Central Hospital said that farting is not necessarily related to the liver, but 80% of patients with poor liver have farted frequently Increased , which may be related to the accumulation of ammonia in the body due to poor liver. For people with poor liver, fart is very stinky, smells unpleasant, and may even be accompanied by yellow urine, abnormal urination, etc..
Second, If the liver is not good, what are the real manifestations?
Too much farting is not necessarily a sign of a bad liver, so when the liver is abnormal, which parts of the body will give feedback?
1. Eye discomfort
When obstructive jaundice occurs, infection of bile duct stones can cause early skin and scleral jaundice, scleral jaundice Staining is also the first and most obvious manifestation of liver problems.
2. Bad breath
When liver function is abnormal, the body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients is naturally affected. This also leads to the easy growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, or the condition of bile reflux, when the patient opens his mouth, he will have obvious bad breath.
3. The wound is not easy to heal
Once the liver is damaged, the skin regeneration ability and detoxification ability will be relatively weak. Wounds can be difficult to heal and prone to bacterial infections.
4. Physical fatigue
The liver function declines, which affects the absorption of nutrients in the body, and the body will experience fatigue. If you feel physically fatigued in a short period of time and feel fatigued, you should suspect that the liver function may be decreased.
Third, What kind of farts should be vigilant?
A lot of farting is not necessarily caused by the liver, but if the fart is “smelly”, we should be alert that it may be related to digestive tract diseases.
1. Smelly fart
The fart has a fishy smell and is accompanied by bloody or tarry stools, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding , or malignant tumors of the digestive tract.
This is because the blood itself has a bloody smell, and the surrounding blood vessels of the cancer tissue cannot supply blood during the infinite reproduction process, which will cause tissue necrosis, erosion, and bleeding, resulting in a fishy smell.
2. Foul-smelling fart
The fart has a strong stench and is accompanied by abdominal cramps, fever, and even pus and blood in the stool< /strong> and other symptoms, it may be related to intestinal bacterial infection. Such as ulcerative colitis, hemorrhagic enteritis, etc.
Fourth, is it okay to hold back too much fart?
When taking the elevator, in a confined space, if the anus feels at this time, once you can’t help it, it is easy to have embarrassing things happen. But if the fart is suffocated back. So where did the gas that was supposed to be released go?
The gas cannot disappear out of thin air, and the farts that cannot be excreted will run around in the body, some will circulate with the blood, some will enter the lungs and be exhaled, and some will be absorbed by the body . Farts contain some toxic and harmful substances. If you hold your fart often, these toxic substances may affect our intestinal health, causing bloating and abdominal pain.
While fart is despised, it can really help keep track of your gut health. So let the fart go, don’t hold back. Drink more water and eat more high-fiber foods every day to help relieve abdominal distension, promote intestinal peristalsis, and relieve the embarrassment of farting.
