Knocking on the stomach, that is, abdominal percussion, abdominal distension patients percussion drum sound, can be used as a preliminary examination of abdominal distension, but abdominal percussion alone can not accurately determine the presence of flatulence.
Flatulence may be associated with gastrointestinal diseases, such as acute and chronic gastroenteritis, acute gastric dilatation, pyloric obstruction, gastric ulcer, etc.; hepatobiliary diseases, such as chronic cholecystitis, acute hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc.; peritoneal diseases, such as bacterial peritonitis, tuberculous peritonitis, etc., and to clarify the specific cause of the disease need to be carried out X-rays, gastroscopy and enteroscopy and other tests.
