Dear
Thanks for posting your query.
There is no apparent direct reason for stomach distension.
The XXXXXXX procedure is either done via wrist or groin.
The probable reason for distension could be :
Prolonged bed rest
Less of fluids
Some obvious change in diet
Restriction of physical activity etc.
Normally drugs used do not lead to distension.
If the distension is causing discomfort or some other problem,please speak to your doctor.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you speedy recovery.
