"Wow, it stinks, are you secretly farting again?! ”
After the meal, Xiaoli kicked her boyfriend Xiao Zhang's ass hard, telling him to fart away in the future.
Xiao Zhang is a well-deserved "fart king", whether he gets up in the morning or goes to bed at night, he can always hold back several farts. Xiaoli couldn't figure out whyEating and drinking are all together, all the sameBut Xiao Zhang just has a lot of farts?
Then I checked it on the Internet, and it was okay not to check it, but I was shocked when I checked it, and it turned out that the fart was not good. Frightened, Xiaoli hurriedly asked Xiao Zhang to go to the hospital for an examination, but Xiao Zhang didn't care.
So how exactly does a fart come about? Is a lot of farts really a bad liver?
1. What is the ingredient of a fart and how is it produced?
Fart is actually the gas in our intestines, which is also called **exhaust in clinical practice, which refers to the physiological phenomenon of gas in the digestive tract being discharged through **.
The fart is made up of about 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 3% oxygen, and more1% skatosin, indole, hydrogen sulfideand other odorous ingredients. The smell of farts is ** than the 1% of odorous gas.
So where does our fart come from? There are three main pathways.
1.Gases that are swallowed through the mouth
Every day, when swallowing, drinking, and talking, you will inevitably swallow some air, and this air will be formed when it goes upbelching, hiccups,If you go down, you form a fart.
2.Gases produced by the decomposition of food
The food we eat will be pushed into the intestines after combining with saliva, stomach acid, and bile, and will be decomposed by intestinal bacteria and microorganismsFermentation is carried outGases are also produced in this process. Gases are emitted from time to time as the gastrointestinal tract moves.
3.Gases in blood tissues
There is also a certain amount of gas in the blood tissue fluid that will pass throughThe intestinal mucosa diffuses into the intestinesMake people fart.
2. Frequent farting is a bad liver, is it really fake?
There are often rumors on the Internet that people who fart often indicate that their liver function is not good, is this statement credible?
Gao Lei, Director of the Department of Gastrointestinal, Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Zhengzhou Central Hospital, Zhengzhou UniversityIndicates that farting is a normal manifestation of the functioning of our intestinesIt has nothing to do with liver healthIt is even more exaggerated to talk about "liver cancer". If the frequency of farting increases, it may be related to 3 factors.
1.Improper diet
Eat a diet rich in meat, dairy products, legumes, eggs, etcHigh-protein foods,It's easy to produce gas and make people fart constantly.
2.Poor mood
Long-term anxiety, depression, etcNegative emotionsIt is easy to make the gastrointestinal tract dysfunctional, and the frequency of farting will also increase.
3.Constipation
People with constipation will accumulate a lot of feces in the intestines, but people are still eating, and the food they ingest cannot be digested in time and accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract, which requires a large number of bacteria to decompose, and the amount of gas produced in this process will also increase.
3. Be wary of the 3 flavors of fart, it's not too late to know
There is generally no need to worry about occasional farting or letting out smelly farts, but if you fart for a long time with a bad smell, you should be alert that it may be caused by a disease.
1.Fishy fart
Fishy-smelling farts are generally associated with abnormal gastrointestinal function and may be related to:Gastrointestinal bleeding and the presence of intestinal malignancyThese patients also often have dark, tarry stools.
2.Rotten egg smell

3.Foul odor
I didn't eat any special food, but the fart I released was very smelly, and it was probably in the intestinesBacterial infectionsAs a result, in addition to the smell of farting, there may also be symptoms of fever and tenesmus.
Fourth, if there are too many farts for fear of embarrassment, there are 2 ways to alleviate it
Farts are actually a very common thing, normal people will let out 10-15 farts a day, but if you find that your farts are a bit too much, you can use the following 2 methods to adjust.
