Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Abdominal distension is a common digestive system symptom. The main causes of abdominal distension include gastrointestinal gas, various causes of ascites, abdominal tumors, and others. Normal human gastrointestinal tracts contain a small amount of gas, about 150 milliliters (ml). When excessive air is swallowed into the stomach or due to poor digestion and absorption function, the gastrointestinal tract produces too much gas. If the gas in the intestines cannot be expelled from the anus, it can lead to abdominal distension. Common diseases that cause gastrointestinal gas in clinical practice include aerophagia, acute gastric dilatation, pyloric obstruction, intestinal obstruction, intestinal paralysis, intractable constipation, liver and biliary diseases, and certain systemic diseases.Suggestions:
