Definition
A swollen abdomen is when your belly area is bigger than usual.
See: Abdominal girth
Alternative Names
Swollen belly; Swelling in the abdomen; Abdominal distention; Distended abdomen
Considerations
Abdominal distention is a common condition, which usually results from over-eating, rather than from a serious illness. Simple weight gain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), pregnancy, or the unconscious swallowing of air can also cause distention.
