What is a bloated stomach?
A bloated stomach means feeling tight, full, or pressured in your belly. Sometimes, your stomach may look swollen too. It can range from a little discomfort to severe pain. Usually, it goes away on its own, but some people experience it often. Digestive problems and hormone changes can cause bloating that comes and goes. If your bloated stomach doesn’t go away, it’s important to see a doctor to find out why.
