Why does my lower abdomen feel bloated and painful, and why do I feel like passing gas?

Abdominal distension and pain accompanied by a sensation of wanting to pass gas are typically related to intestinal issues. This may be caused by improper diet, such as consuming excessive amounts of oily or gas-producing foods, leading to increased intestinal gas. Additionally, factors such as indigestion and slowed intestinal motility may cause food to remain in the intestines longer, resulting in increased gas production and causing abdominal bloating, pain, and the urge to pass gas. Imbalances in intestinal flora or intestinal inflammation may also lead to similar symptoms. To alleviate these symptoms, it is recommended to maintain a healthy diet, avoid excessive intake of gas-producing foods, and engage in appropriate physical activity to promote intestinal motility. If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation is advised to rule out the possibility of intestinal diseases.
