The farts of pregnant women are very smelly during the confinement period

Some women will find that they have smelly farts right after giving birth, and the farts smell very bad. It would be very embarrassing if there happen to be other people around. So, what is the reason why women fart smelly after giving birth?

First of all, one reason why women fart smelly after giving birth may be that they have eaten some foods that are easy to cause flatulence, such as onions, sweet potatoes, soybeans and legumes. If these bloating foods are often included in the diet, women will fart frequently and have smelly farts even if they have not just given birth. At this time, it is generally recommended that women eat less bloating foods, and at the same time, it is recommended to eat slowly and chew slowly when eating, so as to avoid eating gas into the stomach.

Secondly, it may be because women eat more protein-rich foods after giving birth. When people consume too much protein, it may affect the gastrointestinal tract's digestion of food. As a result, the protein may dissolve in the digestive tract to produce a pungent gas. Once the gas is discharged from the body, it becomes a smelly fart.

If the flatulence is caused by eating too much high-protein food, women can alleviate the problem to a certain extent by adjusting the dietary structure, such as increasing the proportion of high-fiber food in the diet. In addition, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. In addition, if time and other conditions permit, it is also recommended to do more exercise, which is beneficial to improve the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function.
