Abdominal distension is a common digestive system symptom. The main causes of abdominal distension are gastrointestinal flatulence, ascites caused by various reasons, abdominal tumors, etc. A normal person's gastrointestinal tract may have a small amount of gas, about 150 ml. When too much air is swallowed into the stomach or due to poor digestion and absorption, too much gas is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, and the gas in the intestine cannot be discharged from the anus, which can cause abdominal distension. Common clinical diseases that cause gastrointestinal flatulence include aerophagia, acute gastric dilatation, pyloric obstruction, intestinal obstruction, intestinal paralysis, intractable constipation, liver and gallbladder diseases and certain systemic diseases. Late pregnancy can also cause abdominal distension, but it is physiological.

There are several reasons: (1) Food fermentation Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of bacteria in the lower ileum and ascending colon. If the chyme stays in this section of the intestine for too long for some reason, the bacteria can cause the chyme to ferment, produce a large amount of gas, and cause abdominal distension. (2) Inhalation of air When eating, a large amount of air is inhaled due to talking or bad eating habits, which causes intestinal flatulence. (3) Gas absorption disorder in the gastrointestinal tract Under normal circumstances, most of the gas in the abdominal cavity is absorbed by the blood vessels in the intestinal wall and exhaled from the body through the lungs. In some diseases, the blood circulation in the intestinal wall is obstructed, which affects the absorption of gas in the intestinal cavity, thereby causing abdominal distension. (4) Gas discharge disorder in the gastrointestinal tract Due to certain reasons, the intestinal peristalsis function is weakened or disappears, so the gas in the intestinal cavity cannot be discharged from the body, thus causing abdominal distension.
