Types of farts and when to get worried

We have heard people complain about their partner’s farts.

Some people on the other hand would never be caught dead farting in front of their partners.

But did you know there are different types of farts? These are

Silent fart

Also known as a fizzle, this fart can be smelly or not depending on one’s gut health.

Vaginal fart

Vaginal flatulence, also known as vaginal flatus, or queef, is an emission of trapped air from the vagina.

Odorless farts

Most farts are odorless and indicate that the digestive system is healthy.

Farts that have no smell only.

Very smelly farts

If your farts have started to reek, smell like rotten eggs, there is something extremely wrong with your digestive system. It’s either because of a food intolerance, high-fiber, high-sulfur foods

Farts with bloating and abdominal pain

If you’re experiencing bloating and constant abdominal pain accompanied by farting, then it could be a sign of food intolerance.

Period farts

During menstruation, hormone levels can fluctuate dramatically, causing several digestive issues.

High levels of estrogen in the body can often lead to gas and constipation. 

If you find yourself consistently farting excessively — or if it comes with any sensation of pain — you should consult a doctor.
