constipation <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>causes the time of feces retained in the intestines longer lead to the gas-producing bacteria continue to breed in the intestines and excessive farts may also occur.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vstcm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/-e1658739224180.png\")
<\/p>\n
\nWhat is our farts smell?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThe gases produced in the intestines are mainly hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. These gases are odorless, so most of the time of our farts actually have no smell at all.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA loud fart not smelly, a smelly fart doesn\u2019t make a sound, is that true?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nI believe everyone has heard this statement, and it has been verified in our life. There is indeed no smell when farting loudly. Why is this occurred?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nThis is because the components of these two farts are different. The components of loud fart are mostly containing carbon dioxide in large quantities, which pass quickly in the intestines. There is fewer component that can emit unpleasant odors, such as hydrogen sulfide, so there will not be produced a smelly fart.
\n<\/span>However, because it is produced quickly and in large quantities, so it will suddenly pass through the anus and make a loud sound when it is expelled. <\/span><\/p>\nOn the contrary, smelly farts are gases that pass through slowly in the intestines. The slower the gas passes through, the more unpleasant substances it carries.
\n<\/span>Due to there is less of gas, so there will be no obvious movement when it passes through the anus.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vstcm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/%E8%87%AD%E5%B1%81-853x1024.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
But there are still some people whose farts are not only smelly but also loud. Why is this occurred?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThis situation often occurs in people who consume large amounts of meat, eggs, milk, and fried products. These foods are relatively difficult to digest and stay in the intestines for a long time, thereby producing large amounts of hydrogen sulfide and skatole make the farts very smelly.<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, when you eat a lot of gas-producing food and breathe in a lot of air, you will also easily to produce smelly and loud farts.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nFarts smelly<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nIf your farts are smelly or smell like rotten eggs, this is because eating too much of protein foods (such as meat) has caused food retention in the intestines. After being decomposed in the digestive tract, amines are produced which have this rotten egg smell.<\/span><\/p>\nAs long as you reduce your food intake especially of protein foods, you can solve this “smelly fart” problem.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vstcm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PROTEIN.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You should pay attention to the following situations. If fishy-smelling farts and the following symptoms appear:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Change in bowel habits<\/span><\/li>\n
- Changes in stool (thinner stool, bloody stool, mucus stool)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Bloating, stomach ache or discomfort<\/span><\/li>\n
- Abdominal mass<\/span><\/li>\n
- Anemia, weight loss, fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It may indicate that there is a disease in the intestines. The disease will cause the farts mixed with a bloody and fishy smell. It is best to go to the hospital for a checkup!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nDo not fart<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nSome friends may hold back their farts, but where the farts they hold to go?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vstcm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/-2-scaled-e1745039981208.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
It will be reabsorbed into the blood through the intestinal mucosa, reach to the liver and filtered by the liver, then reach to the lungs and exhaled out of the body when breathing.<\/span><\/p>\nIn other words, farts that are held back will eventually come out from the mouth and nose. So, the burps you burped may be the farts you did not pass! This is why some people’s burps so smelly.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vstcm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/%E8%87%AD%E5%97%9D.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
In addition, when holding back farts, the anus will bear a lot of pressure, which is not conducive to the anus and can easily lead to hemorrhoids and other diseases. Frequent holding the farts can also easily lead to the accumulation of a large amount of gas in the body which will affect intestinal function and cause symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and chest tightness. Therefore, there is some truth to the saying “if you have fart, let it go”.<\/span><\/p>\nYou also need to pay attention, if you do not fart all day:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nNewborns who do not fart:
\n<\/strong>This may indicate an underdeveloped digestive system, such as Hirschsprung disease, imperforate anus or anorectal malformations.<\/span><\/p>\nIf an adult does not fart but has symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, and vomiting: <\/strong>it is necessary to consider whether there is an anorectal problem, such as inflammation, tumor, constipation, hemorrhoids. An anal intubation is required to exhaust air if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nFarting is a manifestation of the normal functioning of the intestines. However, if you realize that your farts are abnormally smelly after excluding physiological, food and other factors, you should be alert because it may be a sign of disease.<\/span><\/p>\n
