The causes of gastric distention and bloating are more varied, and may be related to physiological factors, or may be caused by pathological factors, such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, intestinal obstruction and so on.
1. Physiological factors: bloating may be related to diet. For example, frequent overeating, irregular diet, or eating hard-to-digest food can lead to increased burden on the stomach, slower gastric peristalsis, excessive accumulation of food in the body, and abnormal fermentation, resulting in the body to produce a large amount of gas, resulting in bloating and abdominal distension.
2. Pathological factors:
(1) Stomach diseases: the occurrence of gastric distention and bloating may also be caused by stomach diseases, such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and so on. The above mentioned diseases will lead to the decline of digestive function, and the food in the organism is not easy to be emptied, which will cause the situation of stomach distension and bloating, and it is also accompanied by acid reflux and so on.
(2) Intestinal diseases: Intestinal obstruction can be caused by various reasons, such as intestinal torsion, intestinal tumors, intestinal adhesions, etc., which make the intestinal lumen narrow, resulting in certain obstacles to the discharge of feces and gases, and the gas stagnation in the gastrointestinal tract can also cause flatulence.
Because of the many factors that cause gastric bloating and abdominal distension, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of a professional physician to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
