Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #3: Constipation
One of the associated symptoms of constipation is abdominal bloating. Constipation occurs when there are hard stools, infrequent bowel movements, or the need to strain when passing motion. Constipation can be improved through lifestyle changes such as increasing fiber intake, getting more exercise, and drinking enough fluids.
Symptoms such as intense pain, blood in the stool, pain in the rectum, and unexplained weight loss are red flags. Patients with these symptoms should seek medical attention.
