A bloated, distended abdomen may result from gastroparesis syndrome; pyloric obstruction is also a possible cause. Additionally, gastric cancer can present with similar symptoms of abdominal bloating and distension. When experiencing such symptoms, it is advisable to seek evaluation promptly at a reputable medical institution and undergo relevant diagnostic tests—such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy—to determine the underlying cause.
