What Causes Intermittent Pain While Passing Gas?

My moms says when she farts it don t hurt most of the time but out of nowhere it do. What does that means? For example if she pass gas like for 5th time today then maybe the next one would probably hurt. She says it happens rarely like she can pas gas as many times as she wants but a couple would probably hurt.

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the issue sounds to be in concern with indigestion issue from various possibilities.

- intestine flora upset
- narrowing of part of intestine or colon
- tumors of intestine
- diverticulosis or diverticulitis
- age related hypo activity of the digestive system
- pancreas insufficiency
- liver or gall bladder malfunction
- other systemic issues as diabetic gastroparesis or others

However , if her any of the reports are available to co relate, it would be better judgement possible to guide precisely.

Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
