The 35-year-old Ahai is an employee of an enterprise. He usually works more overtime and his diet is not particularly regular. Recently, I found that no matter what I eat, I always have a lot of farts, especially when I was in the elevator, which made myself very embarrassed.
Not only did he have a lot of farts, but Ahai found that he often had diarrhea and abdominal pain. He originally thought that his eating habits were too spicy and caused gastrointestinal discomfort, so he didn't pay much attention. Later, after his wife discovered Ahai's abnormality, she asked him to go to the hospital immediately. After doing colonoscopy and CT, the pathological results showed that: bowel cancer stage III.
In recent years, everyone has begun to pay attention to their health, and they also know that bowel cancer may cause excessive farts and smelly farts. But sometimes you get too nervous. You know, too much fart does not mean bowel cancer. Today Miao sister came to talk to everyone about this topic of concern.
The cause of frequent farting, have you been recruited?
In life, it is inevitable that you will fart. If you always fart frequently, you should find the cause of the fart. Generally speaking, frequent farts are likely to be caused by the following two reasons. Have you been recruited?
Eat gas-producing foods: Leeks, garlic, and sweet potatoes are good for many people, but if you eat too much of these foods, it will increase the frequency of farting. In addition to these types of foods, foods such as offal, cheese, onions, or eggs are too much to eat, and they are easy to fart. These foods contain sulfur amino acids. After entering the body, they will be decomposed by bacteria and eventually produce sulfides. Substances have a foul smell, and when they are excreted from the body, they form bad farts.
Intestinal infection: In addition to eating too much gas-producing food will cause fart, if there is too much fart, but also accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc., be careful of intestinal infection. Due to the growth of bacteria in the intestines, excess gas is produced in the body, which causes the problem of frequent farting.
By comparing the symptoms of your own farts, you can find out what causes your own farts. However, if you only fart occasionally, you don't need to be nervous. Because farting is a normal physiological phenomenon.
What does normal farting look like?
Fart is actually a product of the digestive tract. A normal person farts at least 8 to 20 times a day, and the total amount of fart released is about 500ml to 1500ml. Of course, the amount of fart depends on the food eaten and the intestinal flora.
First of all, during the process of food digestion and absorption, the gas produced by the chemical reaction will turn into fart; secondly, after the bacteria in the intestines use undigested and absorbed food residue to ferment, they will also produce fart.
As for the smell of fart, it is tasteless under normal circumstances, and the sound of fart is related to the speed and amount of gas when it is released, and the degree of tightness of the anal sphincter.
Farting is a normal physiological phenomenon, but abnormal farting is likely to be a sign of bowel cancer.
In patients with bowel cancer, tissue erosion and bleeding caused by cancer cells, coupled with the fermentation of bacteria, will make the fart taste rusty. In addition, when the body has these symptoms, be alert to bowel cancer .
bowel cancer warning, these symptoms will appear
stool habits and shape change: When bowel cancer appears, stool habits and shape will change accordingly. For example, if you go to the toilet once a day, it will become two, three or more times a day, and the shape of the stool will be deformed. This is because the diameter of the bowel in patients with bowel cancer is affected by the mass and gradually shrinks, resulting in a narrower stool shape. Therefore, when abnormal stool habits and shapes are found, attention should be paid.
Blood in stool: One of the typical symptoms of bowel cancer is blood in the stool. This is caused by the rupture of the tumor, and the patient will have dark red mucus with a fishy smell when he defecates.
Abdominal pain: Due to the spread of cancer cells and the continuous growth of tumors, some patients with bowel cancer will also experience abdominal pain.Discomfort symptoms such as pain and bloating. This also reminds patients to be careful of bowel cancer.
Beware of frequent fart. In addition to bowel cancer, if it is the smell of these two kinds of fart, you must also be careful.
Be careful with these two kinds of smelly fart
rotten egg-flavored fart: The reason for the appearance of this kind of fart is due to protein metabolism to the final corruption. Yes, a reminder of possible gastrointestinal problems. In addition, if the rotten egg-smelling fart is accompanied by constipation, abdominal pain, etc., be alert to enteritis or intestinal tumors, and it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time.
bloody smelly fart: When the digestive tract is ulcerated or bleeding, the blood and food residues mix together, and a fishy smell will appear. This smell is like The taste of the dead seafood. When this happens, we must pay attention to it. Digestive tract bleeding is likely to cause serious infections and measures need to be taken as soon as possible.
To prevent bowel cancer, start with diet
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables: In order to stay away from bowel cancer, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods are rich in Dietary fiber can promote stool excretion, keep stool smooth, and reduce the time that carcinogens in stool are in contact with the intestines, and can also reduce the risk of bowel cancer.
Control weight: A study in the United States found that obese people have a higher risk of developing malignant tumors, which is also an important factor leading to younger tumors. Therefore, controlling one's own weight is the key to preventing bowel cancer. In terms of diet, calorie intake should be controlled to avoid bad eating habits such as overeating.
Low-salt and low-fat: High-fat, high-salt diet can cause cancer. It is an indisputable fact that excessive intake of salt and fat will increase the risk of colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and other cancers. In the diet, we must control the intake of salt and fat, eat less high-salt and high-fat foods, and follow the principle of lightness.
Eat less pickled and smoked foods, avoid moldy foods, and drink less alcohol: The BBC has reported that eating 50 grams of processed meat a day will increase the risk of colon cancer18 %. Because pickled and smoked food contains a large amount of nitrite and nitrate, after entering the body, it is easy to combine with amines to form nitrosamines. This is a type of substance that easily induces cancers such as bowel cancer and liver cancer. Should eat less pickled and smoked food. In addition, moldy food contains carcinogens such as Aspergillus flavus, so keep it away. At the same time, drinking less alcohol is also the key to preventing bowel cancer. In life, if you can drink less, drink as little as possible, preferably not.
To prevent bowel cancer, we need to start with diet, and paying more attention to abnormal changes in the body is the key to early detection and early treatment. If you fart frequently, you must pay attention to it. Don't be embarrassed not to see a doctor, otherwise you may miss the opportunity to treat!
