Q. Is it unhealthy to always hold in your flatulence?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes. It's unhealthy to always hold in your flatulence because it can cause gas buildup in your intestines and lead to discomfort, pain, and even vomiting. In addition, holding in your flatulence can also lead to the development of bacteria and other organisms in your intestine that may cause infection or other problems. So it's best to try to let go whenever you feel the need, especially if you're around other people.
