Smelly stool may be caused by dietary factors, or it may be due to indigestion, intestinal dysfunction, intestinal infections and other pathological phenomena.
1. Normal phenomenon: If you eat a lot of meat and other high-protein foods, the bacterial decomposition in the intestinal tract will produce irritating fecal odorant, causing the phenomenon of foul-smelling stools.
2. Pathological phenomenon:
(1) Dyspepsia: dyspepsia may occur after eating and drinking foods that are difficult to digest, causing the food to exist in the intestines for too long, leading to abnormal fermentation and causing the phenomenon of smelly stool gas.
(2) Intestinal dysfunction: Intestinal dysfunction can lead to insufficient digestion of the food eaten, as well as the dysfunction of intestinal flora, which can also cause the phenomenon of smelly stool.
(3) Intestinal infection: If there is an infection in the intestinal tract, the inflammatory secretions in the intestinal tract adhere to the stool, which may also cause foul-smelling stool when it is discharged.
Smelly stool may also be caused by chronic gastritis, cholecystitis, intestinal tumors and other factors, if there is a phenomenon of smelly stool, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, with the help of the doctor to give relevant measures.
