The occurrence of flatulence can have psychological, nutritional or physical causes.
Psychological or nutritional causes:
Physical causes:
Flatulence is usually not dangerous, but it is annoying and sometimes very painful. The type and severity of impairment varies with each patient. Typical symptoms are a distended, tense abdomen, outgoing wind, bloating, loss of appetite and inner restlessness. Often flatulence is directly related to what has been eaten and drunk. They disappear by themselves within a few hours.
If flatulence is accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea or constipation, and if these are very pronounced or last for a remarkably long time, a doctor should be consulted.

If necessary, take stool test samples with you to hand in later. Appointment for follow-up. if necessary, issuance of a prescription or referral.
Cost prices for special laboratory requirements outside the scope of standard care vary widely. Otherwise, the service is covered by the health insurance or according to the official regulation of charges for physicians (GOÄ).
