Stool odor or not is related to dietary diseases, etc. It may be related to intestinal inflammation and intestinal flora imbalance.
After eating, food is decomposed in the digestive tract to produce carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and other gases, nitrogen and sulfur-containing gases with a distinctive odor. The degree of odor of stool is closely related to the diet, eating fruits, vegetables or long-term consumption of vegetarian food, stool odor is generally small, after eating meat odor is big. If the color and shape of the stool are normal, it is normal to have smelly or not smelly stool.
When gastrointestinal peristalsis is slow and intestinal flora is out of balance, it takes longer to digest food, the longer the food ferments in the intestines, the stronger the odor the bacteria produce, and the more smelly the stools may be. If the stool is too smelly, it usually suggests that it is related to poor digestion, gastroenteritis and other factors.
Stools that are too smelly can be improved by adjusting dietary structure, eating more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits, drinking more water, and exercising appropriately. If there is no improvement for a long time, or if there is a change in the color or character of the stool, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for a systematic examination and symptomatic treatment.
