What is the relationship between frequent farting and “bowel cancer”? What anomalies should be alerted to? The doctor tells you the truth

If you want to rank various embarrassing scenes

then

” Farting in the elevator”absolutely topping the list all year round

especially the smelly and loud farts

while you’re in the front

many people Think that

Farting is just a manifestation of body detoxification

Ignore it

That’s why

some disease warning signals sent by the body through farting

often overlooked< /span>

To save life

Signal from body fart

It’s better to keep an eye on it

And to figure out what signals are

You must first figure out:

Where does fart come from?

When the human body eats various foods

In addition to feeding itself

also feeds 1000 trillion bacteria in the gut

Bacteriadecompose food while producing gas

when gas accumulates to a certain level

It needs to be excreted

forming our farts

in these gases

99% of the ingredients are tasteless

The remaining 1% is not only smelly

The danger is not too small

where >Hydrogen sulfide

is a neurotoxic substance with a “rotten egg smell”

Only one part per million

produces a foul odor

Concentration exceeding1/10,000

can Destroy the olfactory nerve

normally

The metabolism of the body is rhythmic

For example, a person’s metabolic consumption in a day

basically in a fixed Small fluctuations in the value up and down

The same is true for farts

The American gastroenterologist Levid has made statistics:

span>

Ordinary people put an average of 5-10 farts every day

The volume of a boy’s fart is about 110cm3

And the girl is about 80cm3

If there is a sudden increase in farting one day

Be careful

Because this can be light or heavy

The normal situation is as follows

1. Often eat high-starch foods

such as sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes, etc. High starch content

in the intestinal environment

more likely to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide

< span>2, taking special drugs

such as the hypoglycemic drug acarbose

it can cause abdominal bloating , increased farting, etc.

It is a normal adverse reaction of the drug

Disease signals need to be vigilant

1, liver disease

due to abnormal liver function

Reduced bile secretion

causing indigestion

Intestinal bacteria can Decomposing more food

produces significantly more gas

in addition

< span>Liver disease will also be accompanied by symptoms such as body odor, yellow face, hair loss, etc.

The specific judgment should be combined with the judgment

2. Intestinal infection

When the body becomes weak or does not eat well, After clean food

intestinal Enterobacter aerogenes proliferates

causing intestinal infection

The phenomenon of increased gas production

3. Colorectal cancer

After intestinal lesions

Reduced digestion and absorption capacity

also leads to increased intestinal gas

and Unpleasant smell

especially watch outrotten egg smell< span>andfishy smellfarts

rotten egg smell comes from hydrogen sulfide span>

Mainly from the excessive participation of intestinal bacteria in food decomposition

resulting in increased hydrogen sulfide content

The stench comes from blood in the digestive tract

or the bleeding caused by malignant tumor pressing on the digestive tract

fishy

If you put this type of “stinky fart”

and have the following symptoms at the same time

be alert to colorectal cancer

①Irregular bowel movements

For example, I usually defecate 5 times a week

but I have more than 3 bowel movements in the last day

This situation should be paid attention to

②blood in the stool

Colorectal cancer can cause peptic ulcer< /p>

Intestinal rupture and bleeding

blood will adhere to the stool and be excreted together

< span>③abdominal discomfort or pain

sudden discomfort and pain

may be due to tumor growth Great

compression to tissue nerves

④constipation

Constipation leads to inability to pass stool in time

retains in the intestine for a long time

without bacteria Picky eaters

after decomposing food, they fall in love with poop

so more odorous gas is produced

If you are foodies like Xiaojiu

and don’t want to appear on the scene of large-scale social death span>

Uncle will send you some moreHow to reduce fart volume and smelly fart

< strong>1. Reduce the intake of fiber and sulfur-containing foods

Fiber foods can be decomposed by methanogens to produce colorless and odorless methane span>

But 2/3 people lack this bacteria

the smelly hydrogen sulfide will be produced< /p>

Sulfur-containing foods are broken down by Clostridium perfringens

skatole and indole

< div>

2. Eat less indigestible or greasy food

< p>Indigestible Foods

A great meal for bacteria

Bacteria break down The more food

the more gas is produced

the more the total amount of odor p>

And greasy food is not very friendly to the stomach

It will make it more difficult for the stomach to digest

< p>Also affect the intestinal environment

reduce its digestive capacity

3. Don’t gobble while eating

< p>Eating too fast

allows more air to enter the digestive tract

easy to accumulate more gas

Prompts to fart
