What Causes Protrusion Of Stomach?

Hi, I m a 26 years old guy, 175cm height and about 55Kg weight so as you can imagine I m very skinny with average height. Ever since I remember, I ve had this kind of beer belly like even when I was a little boy.As far as I know, my nutrition has been always natural and I never had poverty or something. I go to gym 3 times a week trying to loose this belly but I have a feeling that there is something wrong inside! I don t really eat that much fat and actually I eat very little. Now I was wondering if maybe I have a kind of parasite which is responsible for it. I really appreciate to know what you think and if I go to a doctor in person, what you suggest to ask him/her. Please kindly help me.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Particular part protrusion as umbilicus or else can be thought of a hernia but general distension of abdomen is most striking evident with fat accumulation in the subcutaneous space of abdomen.

However, an ultrasound of the abdomen & pelvis is mandatory here to proceed further.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
