Will ectopic pregnancy cause constant farting?

The implementation of the two-child policy has affected many families. However, because of their older age, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy will increase. Some people think that ectopic pregnancy is caused by farting, and this idea causes many pregnant women to doubt themselves. These are all unnecessary guesses. Ectopic pregnancy can cause symptoms of farting, but farting does not necessarily mean ectopic pregnancy. It is common for pregnant women to fart. This article introduces the specific reasons why pregnant women fart. Let’s take a look.

1. Does ectopic pregnancy cause farting?

An ectopic pregnancy may cause gas. If an expectant mother with an ectopic pregnancy has poor digestion, she will also fart. The first way to avoid farting is to start with diet. Farting is mainly caused by bloating. When bloating occurs, the stomach is already very bloated. If you eat a lot of food, the stomach will have too much work to do and bloat even more. Therefore, you can eat 6 to 8 meals a day and don't eat too much food at once.

2. Reasons why pregnant women fart

1. Effect of progesterone

After a woman becomes pregnant, the progesterone content in her body increases. Due to the effect of progesterone, gastrointestinal motility is weakened and gastric acid secretion is reduced, which can easily cause bloating, so she always farts to pass gas.

2. Enlarged uterus

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the uterus expands, pressing on the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move. Pregnant women have a heavier metabolism than normal people, and the burden on the spleen and stomach is increased, which continues to hinder digestive activities, so they will fart frequently.

3. Eating food that causes bloating

If a pregnant woman eats too much of certain carbohydrates that are difficult to digest, extra gas will be produced through bacterial digestion, and she will always want to fart. Common ones include lactose, maltose, fructose, beer, etc.

4. Gastrointestinal problems

Frequent farting in pregnant women may also be caused by abnormal gastrointestinal digestive function. Changes in the microenvironment in the gastrointestinal tract lead to the massive reproduction of aerobic bacteria, resulting in symptoms of excessive gas. Gastrointestinal abnormalities may be caused by the following diseases, such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and other stomach diseases, liver, gallbladder, pancreatic diseases, etc.
