Farting is a normal physiological phenomenon, but if the frequency of farting is too frequent, you should pay attention. A 27-year-old office worker in the Mainland often suffers from diarrhea and abdominal pain. She thought it was caused by her food being too spicy, but later she found that no matter what she ate, she would fart frequently, and the number of farts could be as many as 20 times a day. For this reason, she often felt embarrassed in public places. Under the persuasion of her parents, she went to the hospital for colonoscopy and CT examination. The pathological results showed that she was suffering from stage 3 colorectal cancer.

Be careful when there are two fart smells
Li Wenxia, an oncologist at Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, pointed out that smelly farts can come from more feces in the intestines that have not been discharged in time, but most of them are formed by the decomposition of protein food components that have not been absorbed in time. Among them, there are two kinds of odors that need special attention, because they reflect intestinal problems or cancerous signals.
1. The smell of rotten eggs
- The rancid smell emitted by protein metabolism at the end indicates that there may be problems in the gastrointestinal tract, which is a dangerous signal.
2. The smell of blood
- Reflects gastrointestinal bleeding. Blood accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract and is decomposed by gastric acid and intestinal bacteria, producing a foul-smelling gas; the excreted feces may also be like asphalt. What’s more serious is that when there is a malignant tumor in the intestinal tract, the cancerous tissue is eroded, peeled off, and bleeding, coupled with the decomposition and fermentation of bacteria, will also cause the fart to have a fishy smell.
Normally fart at least 6 to 20 times a day
Zhu Yuanting, a registered Chinese medicine doctor, once said that moderate farting is a manifestation of unobstructed Qi and normal spleen and stomach digestion. Each person farts at least 6 to 20 times a day. As the saying goes: “Sounding farts don’t smell bad, and stinky farts don’t sound loud.” The loudness of farts, the amount or speed of exhaust gas are related to the tightness of the anal sphincter.
However, if you fart, you should pay more attention. Zhu Yuanting explained that the smell of farts is generally related to unrestrained diet, including eating more fatty, sweet, greasy, meaty and spicy foods, which will be accompanied by bad breath, constipation, and smelly stools. It is necessary to clear away heat and stagnation, and the diet should be light to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach . However, if you fart for a long time without any incentives, you may suffer from malignant advanced intestinal tumors, and you need to seek medical treatment in time.
