Holding farts back occasionally will not be a problem, but if you hold farts back regularly, you are prone to indigestion, chronic poisoning and other diseases.
Fart is a mixture of many kinds of gases in the intestines, which are produced in the process of intestinal metabolism, including nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, indole and so on.
Occasionally holding back will not have much effect on the body, but holding back for a long time will cause the gas to accumulate in the intestines, increasing the burden on the intestines and slowing down intestinal peristalsis, which will cause indigestion and constipation in the long run.
At the same time, these gases may also be reabsorbed into the bloodstream by the intestinal mucosa, and these gases are toxic and harmful gases, long-term holding back farts may seriously damage the liver’s detoxification function, resulting in chronic poisoning of the body.
Therefore, the occasional fart to hold back will be fine, but habitual fart holding is detrimental to health, it is recommended that patients who often hold back their farts to adjust their personal habits, if there is abdominal distension, chest tightness, poor mental health and other symptoms should be promptly to the hospital for medical attention.
