Why do I have a bloated stomach and keep farting at night? Is it colon cancer?

Stomach bloating and frequent farting at night are usually not caused by intestinal cancer. It may be caused by excessive intake of gas-producing foods, indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastrointestinal inflammation, Helicobacter pylori infection, etc., but the possibility of intestinal cancer also needs to be ruled out. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations to rule it out. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Excessive intake of gas-producing foods: If you consume too much gas-producing foods, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and soy products. Or if you are intolerant to certain foods, such as milk, this will cause bloating and frequent farting. It is recommended to reduce the intake of gas-producing foods and avoid eating these foods on an empty stomach to avoid excessive gas production. If necessary, you can follow the doctor's advice to use Wei Fuchun Capsules, Xiangsha Liujun Pills, Jianpi Pills and other drugs for treatment.

2. Indigestion: Gastrointestinal indigestion is mainly caused by the reduction of digestive enzymes secreted by the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to the inability to fully digest and absorb food in the gastrointestinal tract. Especially when the number of gas-producing bacteria increases, the food will produce more gas under the action of gas-producing bacteria, which may cause bloating and frequent farting. It is recommended to pay attention to a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods. Appropriate exercise can promote gastrointestinal motility. You can use Weisu Granules, Compound Digestive Enzyme Tablets, Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

3. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: Gastrointestinal motility disorders caused by irregular diet, poor sleep, and excessive psychological stress, especially the bad fermentation of food in the gastrointestinal tract, which produces more gas, and there will also be bloating and increased farting. It is recommended to maintain good living habits and avoid excessive fatigue and stress. Bifidobacterium live bacteria capsules, compound glutamine enteric-coated capsules, Bacillus subtilis two live bacteria enteric-coated capsules and other drugs can be used for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

4. Gastrointestinal inflammation: When gastritis, enteritis and other diseases occur, inflammation can easily stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to spasms of the gastrointestinal smooth muscles, which speed up the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, causing increased gas production, and thus causing symptoms such as bloating and frequent flatulence. You can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin sustained-release tablets, and rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets for treatment.

5. Helicobacter pylori infection: It can produce urease, which decomposes urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ammonia moves to the abdominal intestine with intestinal peristalsis, causing a feeling of bloating. You can follow the doctor's advice to use amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin sustained-release tablets, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, colloidal pectin bismuth capsules and other drugs for treatment.

6. Intestinal cancer: There are many clinical symptoms of intestinal cancer, such as bloody stools, diarrhea, persistent abdominal pain, abdominal masses, etc. Pathological examination is required to make a clear diagnosis, and it cannot be judged by abdominal distension or farting. After a clear diagnosis, the specific treatment should be based on the doctor's advice and choose surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. according to the condition and stage. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include fluorouracil injection, calcium folinate injection, oxaliplatin injection, etc.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a moderate amount of exercise, such as walking, jogging, etc., which helps promote intestinal peristalsis, promote digestion, and reduce bloating and farting. After lying down at night, you can use a warm towel or hot water bottle to heat the abdomen, which helps to exhaust gas and relieve bloating.
