What is going on with the stomach bloating and discomfort after the first half month?

Patient's question:

After the first half of the month, I experienced stomach and abdominal bloating, which has lasted for half a year (starting after my cesarean section). Usually, it improves after my menstrual period, but this month, my menstrual flow is slightly less than usual, so I still feel my entire abdomen bloated. After applying a few patches of traditional Chinese medicine, my lower abdomen has improved, but my stomach still feels bloated. I don’t know what the reason is?
First follow-up question: My diet and bowel movements are normal, and I don’t have any other discomforts—just the stomach bloating. My period started on December 18th, and the bloating began about half a month before. Because I still felt bloated after my period this month, I took traditional Chinese medicine on the 22nd. Recently, my lower abdomen has improved significantly, but my stomach is still bloated.

Doctor's answer:

Hello
Abdominal distension refers to a condition where the stomach feels full and distended, with an outward appearance of being bloated. It can be accompanied by symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty eating. It is often caused by irregular eating habits, imbalanced hunger and fullness, unhygienic food consumption, insufficient water intake, low fiber intake, irregular lifestyle, excessive consumption of greasy foods, or excessive stress.
