Hello,

There are chances of some growth (benign or malignant) associated with gastrointestinal tract or genitourinary tract. Initial idea will be from ultrasonography test of the abdomen. Also, do a chest x-ray.

Does your wife also suffer from any gynecological problem? As with advancing age and consumption of contraceptive pills for longer duration can lead to cancer formation in a uterus. Rupture of the polycystic ovary or ovarian carcinoma can also lead to abdominal distention. So also consult a gynecologist for it.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
