That's what happened to a young woman who confessed that she was rushed to hospital after refusing to fart in front of her partner, leaving her with severe stomach pains.
Brazilian singer Viviane de Queiroz Pereira - who is also known by her stage name Pocah - shared the awkward details of her medical emergency with her 15.7 million Instagram followers.

According to Newshub, Viviane revealed that she came across some advice o nTikTok that told her to ignore the pains she was experiencing, but she eventually had no choice but to go to the hospital.
After she was tested, the singer was told by doctors that the pain was a result of an "accumulation of trapped farts."
Vivian confessed that she had been holding in gas around her partner, and urged her fans to avoid making the same mistake.
She told followers: "Girls, don't be ashamed to fart in front of your guy, because what's really embarrassing is not letting your guy sleep because you're in discomfort, going to hospital with your guy, and the diagnosis being 'trapped farts.'

"From now on, I'm letting them rip, guys. I'm medicated and I'm fine."
While trapped gas can be a result of refusing to pass gas, it can also be caused by other underlying medical conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, or reactions to certain foods.
