Causes of stomach bloating

1. Indigestion: Some patients have poor physical constitution and insufficient gastric motility, and often suffer from bloating due to eating certain irritating foods or foods that are difficult to digest. In addition, if the intestinal flora is unbalanced, a lot of waste gas will easily accumulate in the intestine, which can also cause bloating.

2. Organic diseases: such as gastrointestinal tumors, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastric ptosis, gastric dilatation and pyloric obstruction, can all lead to gastrointestinal gas accumulation, manifested as abdominal bloating and abdominal gas retention. When there is too much gas accumulation in the stomach and intestines, the patient may feel abdominal discomfort, manifested by belching, bloating, and hyperactive bowel sounds.

3. Functional diseases: such as indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, neurosis, etc. Most of these conditions are serious and should not be taken lightly.

4. Gastrointestinal diseases: such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, enteritis, intestinal obstruction, habitual constipation, etc.

5. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: manifested as gas absorption disorder and gas excretion disorder in the gastrointestinal tract. Due to certain reasons, the gastrointestinal motility is weakened or disappears, resulting in the inability of gas in the body to be discharged. The gas in the body accumulates more and more, resulting in bloating.

6. Excessive stomach acid: Excess gastric acid in the stomach will produce carbon dioxide after neutralization with pancreatic juice, causing bloating and burping.

The above introduces in detail the reasons why pregnant women suffer from bloating and hiccups. After a comprehensive understanding, for the sake of your own health and the normal development of the baby in your body, you must understand the cause as soon as possible, and then receive comprehensive treatment to recover as soon as possible, so as not to affect the development of your child and your own health.
