Is it normal to have bloated stomach and abdomen in the early stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Is it normal to have stomach bloating and abdominal bloating in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by gastritis and requires medication such as oral antibiotics, acid-reducing agents, gastric motility drugs, and gastric mucosal protectants. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, cold, and greasy foods. Eat meals on time. If the effect is not good, have an endoscopy and ultrasound examination at the hospital.
Your condition may be neuropathic pain, which refers to pain felt without external stimulation. Treatment options include acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage. Carbamazepine can also be used for treatment.
