Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have loose stools when you fart? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
When farting, there is liquid stool coming out: It may be because the stool is loose (normally the stool is molded) when farting, there is often a push to let the gas out, so the loose stool is also following or due to decreased anal sphincter tone.
You should see a gastroenterologist to diagnose the cause and have the appropriate treatment.
If you still have questions about when farting and loose stools come out, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
