- Farts are intestinal gases that enter the rectum due to the body’s usual processes of digestion.
- Holding your fart for too long may either get absorbed back to circulation or may be set free in an uncontrollable release.
Have you ever been in a situation wherein releasing your inner gasses will be so embarrassing that you actually have to hold it in?
This decision will lead up to pressure discomfort. Not only that, the build-up of intestinal gas can trigger abdominal tension. It gets reabsorbed into the circulation and get exhaled through your breath.
Holding it in for too long means the build-up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart.
There are also people saying that the rise in pressure in your rectum may increase your chance of developing a condition called ‘diverticulitis,’ where small pouches develop in the gut lining which causes it to be inflamed.
Flatus, farts and breaking wind refer to intestinal gases that enter the rectum due to the body’s usual gastrointestinal processes of digestion and metabolism and then leave via the anus.
When the body digests food in the small intestine, components that can’t be broken down move further along the gastrointestinal process of digestion and metabolism and then leave via the anus.
As the body digests food in the small intestine, components that can’t be broken down move further along the gastrointestinal track and eventually into the large intestine called the colon.
It produces gases and by-products called fatty acids that are reabsorbed and used in metabolic pathways related to immunity and preventing disease development. Gases can either be reabsorbed through the circulation and eventually exhaled through the lungs or excreted via the rectum, as a fart.
