Farting is an embarrassing thing for everyone. Occasional farting is physiological and harmless. However, excessive frequent farting is not necessarily a trivial matter!

Doctor explained: in good eating habits, food after digestion and absorption, through the small intestine into the large intestine, protein and fat residues are small, these small residues in the role of intestinal flora can continue to synthesize essential substances for the human body.

However, because Xiaomin often eats spicy and hot food, the intake of animal protein and fat has increased too much, which exceeds the digestion and absorption capacity of the small intestine, and there is no longer a small amount of residual into the large intestine. In the “fermentation tank” of large intestine, excessive nutrients will lead to flora imbalance, and those surplus nutrients will be synthesized into amines in large quantities. Long term stimulation will increase the incidence of intestinal adenomatous polyps; When adenomas grow up, they are colon cancer.

“Fart” in the body

How did it come into being?

When we eat and drink water, we will unconsciously swallow a lot of air.

There are generally two ways to expel the air: burping and farting.

 

Air into the stomach, can stimulate the gastric parietal plexus and phrenic nerve, causing hiccups, the air will be discharged from the stomach. But belching can only discharge part of the gas, and the rest is trapped in the stomach.

In addition, a part of the gas into the intestinal tract, the formation of intestinal gas. Our fart is this part of intestinal Qi.

In the human gut, there are a large number of bacteria. These bacteria can decompose the protein in the food we eat into amino acids, and then decompose the amino acids into a class of substances called “amines”. These substances have rotten odor, so they naturally form odor components in the fart.

What does fart have to do with bowel cancer?

One of the symptoms of colorectal cancer is frequent flatus, but in addition to this symptom, the patient will also show abdominal pain and obvious emaciation. The shape of the stool and the law of defecation will have an impact. It needs comprehensive reasons to consider whether it is colorectal cancer.

If a person just farts more times, the body does not have other abnormal reactions, then in general, it is not caused by colorectal cancer, but if frequent farting will also show bloody stool, abdominal pain and other symptoms, then we need to pay attention to it, so we need to pay attention to the symptoms of colorectal cancer.
