Farting after taking Chinese medicine

Farting after taking Chinese medicine is mostly a normal condition. As long as there is nothing abnormal in the body, it will not affect the taking of medicine and no special treatment is needed. If the fart is more frequent and there are uncomfortable symptoms, you need to go to the hospital to let the doctor determine whether it is caused by taking Chinese medicine or caused by other reasons, and the doctor will carry out targeted treatment according to the cause of the patient’s fart to relieve the symptoms as soon as possible. A. The influence of drugs: 1. Taking drugs that move gas: such as Hou Pao, Citrus Aurantium, Rhubarb, Chen Pi, etc. often have exhaust symptoms, which is normal. This is because these drugs can speed up the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the accelerated peristalsis of the stomach and intestines can promote the discharge of intestinal gas, resulting in farting symptoms; 2. Taking laxative Chinese medicines: such as mannitol and lycopodium can also cause the enhancement of gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote the discharge of gas accumulated in the intestines, resulting in increased farting. If the abdominal distension is relieved after the increase in farts, it is a sign that the medicine is working. If after frequent farting, the body weakness is aggravated and there is obvious shortness of breath, it is necessary to reduce the dose of laxative drugs appropriately to help relieve the symptoms. Second, disease factors: patients themselves have enteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection and other diseases, there are symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction, making gas retention in the intestine, when the condition is controlled after taking drugs such as Sikyong San, Mu Xiang Shun Qi Wan and Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid, the gastrointestinal tract function is restored and exhaust will be produced.
