Although our farts aren't the most pleasant parts of our existence, it's easy to underestimate how necessary they are.
So while certain social situations may compel us to hold in our farts, doctors will advise us not to make a habit of doing this.
Their advice usually centers around how pointless it is to do this since we'll just end up breathing out the same gases we'd otherwise pass, but one woman's story illustrates how serious a seemingly minor irritation can become if we don't take care of it.
Based on what happened to her, there's definitely something to be said for a couple that can navigate awkward situations together.
