Why do you keep farting when you are constipated

Many people have experienced constipation in life. Constipation is a common digestive system symptom. When constipation occurs, it will have a certain impact on physical health. Many people have experienced the following symptoms when they are constipated: loss of appetite, abdominal distension, bitter taste in the mouth, flatulence, insomnia, and irritability. When constipation occurs, you need to make adjustments in your lifestyle and diet to improve the constipation symptoms in a timely manner.

Why do I keep farting when I am constipated?

There are many causes of this disease, most of which are caused by accumulation of heat evil, old age and physical weakness, pregnancy, etc. However, because everyone's bowel habits are different, it is necessary to make a correct judgment on whether constipation exists based on each person's bowel habits and whether the bowel movements are smooth.

Generally speaking, short-term constipation has little effect on the human body, but if constipation is not corrected for a long time and harmful substances in the rectum cannot be eliminated in time, it will have adverse effects on the human body. Because these effects occur gradually, it is not easy to draw immediate attention, and by the time they are discovered and treated, it is already too late to reverse the habit. Some people do not take constipation seriously. In fact, constipation can cause premature aging, malnutrition, obesity, colon cancer and certain mental disorders. Constipation in the elderly can also induce and aggravate angina pectoris, cerebral hemorrhage, emphysema, hemorrhoids, anal fissures and other diseases.

【Family prevention and treatment measures】

1. Do more exercise

People who can move should try to do some exercise, such as walking and practicing Tai Chi. Patients who cannot move, such as paralyzed patients, can try abdominal muscle contraction and anal levator exercises. Postpartum women can also do abdominal muscle contraction exercises as soon as possible. The specific method is: take a deep breath, relax the abdominal muscles at the same time to make the abdomen bulge, and when exhaling, contract the abdominal muscles to make the abdomen concave.

2. Regular toilet visits

Some people are afraid of defecation because of anal fissures or hemorrhoids, so they endure not going to the toilet, which makes their stools drier. Some people have irregular bowel movements due to irregular work and diet. When they feel the urge to defecate, they cannot stop the work at hand in time, but endure the inconvenience. If they do not go to the toilet on time and fail to expel stool in time, their constipation will inevitably worsen. It is best to develop the habit of defecating after getting up in the morning. Regular bowel movements are very important for preventing and treating constipation.

3. Eat more whole grains

As we all know, dietary fiber has the function of absorbing water and softening stool, and it is also the main component of feces. It can stimulate intestinal muscle peristalsis and push feces down quickly. These dietary fibers are mainly found in coarse grains. Eating too little coarse grains will result in less food fiber residue in the intestines, less stool, too little effective intestinal stimulation, slower intestinal motility, feces staying in the intestines for too long, and excessive water absorption by the intestines, leading to dry stools and constipation.

4. Do not take laxatives regularly

Long-term use of laxatives may eventually cause dependence on the large intestine, so it is best not to use laxatives continuously, and intermittent use is much better. If you have long-term habitual constipation, it is best to ask your doctor to help you find out the cause and use targeted medication to completely solve the problem. If you rely on laxatives for a long time, the constipation will only become more and more serious.

5. Do not take antibiotics indiscriminately or for a long time

Some people like to take antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole, norfloxacin, etc. on their own initiative regardless of the part of the body where the inflammation occurs. They do not know that these indiscriminate use of antibiotics can kill some useful bacteria in the intestines, such as acidophilus, resulting in bacterial imbalance and constipation.

6. Supplement acidophilus

Acidophilus is a very important flora in the large intestine. If it can survive successfully in the intestine, constipation caused by various reasons can be avoided. The Jinshuangqi oral liquid that is commonly seen in the market now is this type of preparation. What makes it different from laxatives is that it takes a long time to take effect, often taking weeks or months to see the effect. When the constipation is gone, it means that the acidophilus has successfully multiplied, so even if you stop taking it, constipation will not occur again.
