Abdominal Distention

Abdominal Distention

Abdominal distention refers to a visible and palpable increase in the size of the abdomen. It is also known as bloating and can cause feelings of fullness, tightness, and discomfort. It is commonly caused by gas in the digestive system, but can also be caused by fluid retention, constipation, and other medical conditions. In some cases, abdominal distention can be caused by a buildup of gas in the digestive system. This can be the result of eating certain foods that are difficult to digest, such as beans and certain dairy products. Additionally, drinking carbonated beverages can cause excessive gas buildup. Abdominal distention can also occur as a result of fluid retention. This can be caused by a number of medical conditions, such as heart failure, kidney disease, or diabetes. It can also be caused by taking certain medications or after eating a high-sodium meal. Constipation can also cause abdominal distention. This is because the large intestine becomes full of stool, which can cause the abdomen to become swollen and painful. In some cases, abdominal distention can be a symptom of a more serious medical condition, such as an abdominal aortic aneurysm or ovarian cancer.
