"Why Do I Keep Experiencing Excessive Flatulence?"
Frequent flatulence may be caused by dietary factors, indigestion, intestinal flora imbalance, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive corresponding improvement or treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. Details are as follows:
1. Dietary Factors:
Consuming foods that are prone to producing gas, such as beans, potatoes, and onions, can lead to increased gas production during digestion, resulting in frequent flatulence. Appropriately increase the intake of dietary fiber, such as celery and spinach, to promote intestinal motility.
2. Indigestion:
Poor gastrointestinal function and indigestion can cause food to stay in the intestines for extended periods, allowing intestinal flora to ferment it and produce gas, leading to frequent flatulence. Eat small, frequent meals, chew thoroughly, engage in appropriate exercise to promote digestion, and massage the abdomen clockwise to enhance intestinal motility and alleviate bloating. Acupuncture at specific points under medical supervision can also regulate gastrointestinal function and alleviate indigestion and bloating.
3. Intestinal Flora Imbalance:
An increase in harmful bacteria and a decrease in beneficial bacteria in the intestine can lead to intestinal flora imbalance, resulting in excessive gas production and frequent flatulence. Maintain dietary hygiene to prevent intestinal infections, keep the abdomen warm, and avoid exposure to cold. Medications such as Bacillus Subtilis Live Bacteria Granules, Bifidobacterium Triple Viable Powder, and Bacillus Licheniformis Live Bacteria Capsules can be prescribed for treatment.
4. Constipation:
When feces remain in the intestine for too long, intestinal flora can ferment them and produce gas, leading to frequent flatulence. Drink plenty of water, engage in moderate exercise to promote intestinal motility, establish good bowel habits, and defecate regularly. Medications such as Lactulose Oral Solution, Liuwei Nengxiao Capsules, and Qirong Runchang Oral Liquid can be prescribed for treatment.
5. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):
A common functional intestinal disorder, IBS manifests as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation, with bloating and diarrhea contributing to increased gas production and frequent flatulence. Develop healthy lifestyle habits, maintain regular schedules, and avoid excessive fatigue and emotional fluctuations. Medications such as Pinaverium Bromide Tablets, Scopolamine Hydrobromide Tablets, and Loperamide Hydrochloride Capsules can be prescribed for treatment. Conditions like liver disease and intestinal tumors may also contribute to frequent flatulence.
In daily life, pay attention to dietary hygiene, increase dietary fiber intake, maintain bowel regularity, and establish healthy lifestyle and sleep patterns to maintain intestinal health.
