How Long Can A Fart Be Held? It's Dangerous If It's Too Frequent

YOGYAKARTA – At one time, farts needed to be restrained. But it turns out that holding in farts is not good for health if too often.

A study reported by VeryWell Mind, Thursday, April 14, found that holding in farts is more uncomfortable than other physical reasons. The gut triggers the brain to tell us that we need to fart. Air pressure in the stomach increases, causing a feeling of bloating. The pressure gives the impetus to be released. If the urge is restrained, it will feel very uncomfortable.

Farting is all about the work of the intestines, because what you eat will determine what is excreted. Including gas with a variety of aromas. The right foods can help prevent loud farts.

When a lot of bacteria gather in the intestines, the digestive and immune systems work. Methanobrevibacter is a bacterium that produces gas. Its short name is methane, which research shows if taking probiotics can reduce digestive bacteria including methanobrevibacter.

Farts are naturally experienced 5-23 jali per day. Some people may be less or more than that amount. But each condition needs to be recognized and evaluated. If it is not followed by prolonged pain, it can be overcome in a simple way.

In the short term, holding in farts can cause bloating, heartburn, indigestion, discomfort, and stomach pain. Holding in farts is also associated with diverculitis or inflammation of the pouches that form along the digestive tract.

As far as recorded medical reports, reported by Healthline, holding farts is not dangerous to cause death. Although the discomfort is overshadowed by tightening the anal sphincter muscles and clenching the buttocks, it can make you sweat more. Holding a fart is also uncertain for how long. Clare Collins reported by Vice Canada, professor of nutrition and dietetics at the School of Health Sciences at the University of Newcastle, Australia, can't say for sure how long you can hold a fart because it depends on how much gas there is, the strength of the sphincter, and the muscles of the buttocks.

So, how do you avoid being held back and not feeling uncomfortable? Find an open place to pass gas. In order not to disturb other people in public or at work, consider the least possible way of not sounding loud.
