What Causes Numbness And Bloating In The Lower Abdomen?
I have bloating at the bottom of my abdomen. I have not moved my bowels naturally for 5 months. I have seen many doctors and they keep telling me to take senna or like and stool softness. I should a neurologist this last week and he past it off as abdominal fat when you get older ; I m a very active 72. Usually when I lay down the lower abdomen sinks down. Also I seem to have no muscle control here. Thank you for whatever advice you might be able to give me. Judy

Hello,
As aging occurs due to lack of estrogen in women, abdominal muscles become lax. Bowel problem may be related to your diet. Eat a lot of bananas and fiber-rich food. Drink lots of water daily. If you are having bloating of abdomen then try taking antigastritis treatment like tab Pantocid, Omez, or gelusil syrup. Eat less spicy food. Do regular exercise for half an hour per day. You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
