Questioner
Doctor hello, I am a freshman, female.
Recently, I have been troubled by flatulence. I have been in my third year of high school since then. Now I have taken more than two months of traditional Chinese medicine and have not improved at all.
The main symptom is that the stomach is swollen and uncomfortable, and there is a feeling of being blocked by gas. The part is the lower abdomen around the navel. You often hear bowel sounds and normal stool. What is going on? Is it serious?

Hello!
In fact, your feeling of abdominal distension has been more than one year. If there is no further change, no stool change, no malnutrition such as anemia and emaciation, it can basically be identified as [functional abdominal distension] in [functional gastroenteropathy].
This is a disease [no substantial abnormality has been found], in short, there is no actual big problem.
For this kind of abdominal distension, the total amount of gas in the intestinal tract and the gas transmission speed are probably the same as those of normal people, but there may be high sensitivity in the intestinal tract, too sensitive to the feeling of intestinal gas, and anxiety may also play a great role in it.
Of course, in order to diagnose, it is necessary to investigate the substantial intestinal diseases.
Generally speaking, basic abdominal color Doppler ultrasound, blood routine, stool routine and occult blood examination are all required. If there are abnormalities, further endoscopic examination is required.
After eliminating the possible problems, first stop the traditional Chinese medicine quickly, and then see if you can do a good job of stress management, remove your attention from abdominal distension and tell yourself that there is no disease.
In addition, some foods may also cause abdominal distension, which can be avoided, such as cabbage, onions, pod vegetables, plums, apricots, etc.
For example, bowel sounds are normal physiological phenomena. As long as the intestinal tract moves, there will be bowel sounds. The more you care about listening, the easier it will be to hear. Don’t think too much.
