Abdominal bloating is a common problem that you might have come across. It is not a matter of concern as long as it is associated with eating, goes away in a couple of days, or does not get worse with time. However, sometimes you may observe noticeable swelling or miss-shaping of the abdomen with sharp sternum pain.
It is an alarming condition when you must see an expert. Dr. Piyush Ranjan is a senior gastroenterologist & consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and has established his clinic with state-of-the-art equipment in New Delhi. He can give you exceptional relief and cure from bloating with a phenomenal career as an expert at gastrointestinal problems and mammoth experience.
For treating abdominal bloating efficiently, Dr. Ranjan emphasizes determining the primary cause of the problem by analyzing patterns and changes in your condition. Various factors lead to painful bloating, such as gas build-up, indigestion, a stomach infection, fluid retention, food intolerance, and constipation. Sometimes chronic issues like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) also lead to frequent bloating, ranging from mild discomfort to intense pain. In rare extreme cases, it can also lead to fever, vomiting, bloody stool, etc. Most often, bloating can be treated with over-the-counter medication that cures the underlying cause.
