What Is Flatulence?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Complications
Flatulence itself is unlikely to cause any further medical complications. However, it can be caused by an underlying problem that can lead to problems for the patient. If somebody does experience problems with flatulence then they should arrange to see a doctor to try and find out what is causing it.
Regardless of medical complications, flatulence can be very embarrassing for people with the condition. Loud noises and unpleasant odors can make for some very awkward situations in social settings. Patients will often need to look for medication that can at least help to reduce the severity of their symptoms.
