Whether or not a hard to soft stomach is a good thing is related to its cause. Loose skin and other causes are not good; constipation, peritonitis and other causes are good.
1. Loose skin: In the past, the stomach used to be hard because of exercise and muscle development, but because of the lack of exercise, the muscle gradually relaxes, so the stomach turns from hard to soft. This is not a good thing, but if there is no other reason, you may not need to care about it and do not need medical treatment.
2. Constipation: A large amount of feces is retained in the intestinal tract, and these feces become dry and hard due to excessive reabsorption of water, and at this time, the stomach is hard to the touch. When the retained feces are expelled from the body, the stomach will become softer. This is a good sign that constipation is relieved.
3. Peritonitis: Peritonitis can be caused by perforation of the digestive tract, and as the inflammation spreads to the whole stomach, the stomach will become hard. When the cause of the disease is removed and the inflammation disappears, the stomach will gradually become softer, which is a sign of improvement. Therefore, in this case, it is good for the stomach to turn from hard to soft.
The cause of the stomach hardening should be discussed and it is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis before proceeding to the next step.
