Abdominal distension, commonly known as bloating, is the noticeable swelling or tightness of the abdomen due to trapped gas or other digestive issues. It can cause discomfort, pressure, and visible enlargement of the abdomen.
Our specialists conduct a thorough review of symptoms to identify patterns and potential causes of abdominal distension.
Reviewing dietary habits, medications, and medical history allows us to refine the diagnostic approach, ensuring an accurate understanding of each patient's condition.
