What is frequent farting after swimming?


Restoring balance, one patient at a time.
Frequent farting after swimming may be caused by excessive intake of air, accelerated gastrointestinal motility, intestinal gas accumulation, etc. Details are as follows:
1. Excessive intake of air
When swimming, you may accidentally swallow air while breathing. After air enters the digestive tract, it is discharged through the anus, resulting in frequent farting.
2. Accelerated gastrointestinal motility
Swimming may stimulate the movement of the gastrointestinal tract, accelerating the passage of food in the digestive tract, causing gas to be pushed to the anus and causing frequent farting.
3. Intestinal gas accumulation
After swimming, due to water pressure or exercise stimulation, gas accumulation will cause the gastrointestinal tract to swell, making it easier for gas to be released through the anus.
