Patient's question:
Recently, I've been passing gas more frequently, about 10 times a day. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Regarding this issue, if there are no symptoms of abdominal discomfort or pain, it is generally not a problem. This condition can usually be caused by factors such as a high-protein diet or an increase in intestinal gas-producing bacteria. It can also be due to factors like a cold, slow gastrointestinal motility, or prolonged retention of intestinal contents. Therefore, it is necessary to judge the specific situation.
