A large and hard stomach may be caused by constipation, ascites, peritonitis and other reasons.
1. Constipation: stools stay in the intestine for a long time, under the action of intestinal bacteria, feces produce a lot of gas but can not be discharged, which ultimately leads to abdominal distension, flatulence, followed by a large stomach, and the local pressure feels hard.
2. Ascites: Ascites is mostly a clinical manifestation of liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer and heart failure, kidney failure, etc. Body fluids can not return to the circulation and gather in the abdominal cavity, resulting in a large and hard stomach.
3. Peritonitis: Inflammation of the digestive tract spreading to the peritoneum can lead to peritonitis, which leads to abdominal muscle tension, resulting in the symptom of a large and hard stomach.
There may be other reasons for a large and hard stomach, so it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time to clarify the condition and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
