You would not believe how many conditions could be causing swelling in the abdomen. Have you seen a doctor about it? You should have considering it’s been there for two years now.
Does your swelling look like a mass under the skin or more like bloating? You need to be screened and need to have a physical exam in order to determine what the bulge could be.
If it were a mass-like, then it could represent hernia, a tumor, an amebic liver abscess, etc. There are a lot of other possible causes and I would mention just a few: constipation, lactose intolerance, IBS, gallbladder disease, peptic ulcers, etc
There is a wide range of possibilities, and you should really get evaluated. |
